[QUOTE="Julia, post: 91305, member: 1784"] This is normal for 90% of the areas. The human ear if you go by the Loudness Contour & Fletcher Munson curves hears things best at 85 dB. At loud volumes when you crank up your amp, your speakers also start to break up and add distortion. Power tubes don't really matter until your master volume gets over noon along with your channel volume. Typically that's way too loud for most residential homes, and it will cause hearing damage. So unless you want to go modeling with FRFR monitors, you might want to try a 212 cab that has speakers rated under 20W like the Celestion Heritage Greenbacks. I also know Ted Weber makes some 12" speakers that are rated at 15W and very early breakup. Of course you can't drive them hard, but in a residential home a 5W amp is very loud. I ended up with the modeling + FRFR option. [/QUOTE]
