Could you please elaborate on the loudness level of a 100-watt amplifier? I'm curious to know if it's suitable for a small living room or would it be too overwhelming? Also, how does its loudness compare to other common household electronics, like a television or a stereo system? I'm interested in understanding the technicalities behind the sound output and whether there are any factors that could affect its volume, such as the type of speakers it's connected to.

The relationship between power and perceived volume levels is often misunderstood.

As a result, a doubling of power results in a much smaller increase in perceived loudness than a doubling of the actual sound pressure level.

Many assume that a linear increase in power will result in a similar linear increase in perceived loudness. However, this is not the case.

For example, one watt of power corresponds to approximately 90 decibels (dB) of sound pressure level.

If we increase the power to one hundred watts, which is a 100-fold increase, the sound pressure level only increases to 110 dB.
