120W? At university, the guy in the room next to me had two 500W speakers (And amp to match).
Being woken up at 3am to hear "Oi - get your filthy hands of my desert" as clearly as if it had been whispered in my ear was an experience. The few seconds after that, I thought the building had collapsed...
( Just played it now - even with the puny speakers connected to my PC, the floor shook ).

But will it's cheap white plastic go yellow and start cracking up within two years? Well, yes, actually.

I thought you'd be perusing specialist shops where the assistants know their stuff and you have to yell at them to catch their attention...
Edit - just realised that SY01 was quite ok with Currys - it's RC who has to yell at the assistants...Last edited by cojak; 23 August 2009, 10:22. Reason: Sorry SY01 - I momentarily confused you with Dickie..

He is actually correct, the watt value that you are referring to will be the input power and the efficiency of the unit will determine the output power as measured by the ear.
There is no doubt that the efficiency of speakers has improved over the last 10-20 years.

Physics 2.0
I was in Comet yesterday buying a portable stereo, and mentioned to the young spotty oik try to sell me one that 'ghetto blasters' are much smaller these days. I really wanted something about 3 foot wide with humungus speakers that played tapes, radio, cd and had IP dock.
He said that the modern cd players has smaller speakers as speaker technology had moved on, and the smaller modern speakers produced the same output as the older larger ones.
Comet has redefined the Watt.
I can't wait for physics 3.0. We'll all be able to walk on the ceiling or something.Tags: None
