How does the volume of one of these compare to a 100 watt plexi and how would it compare to the jtm45?
Lets say if the speakers are both 97db sensitivity and the volume of the 50 watt is on 7 and the volume of the 100 watt is around 5, is the 100 watt much louder?

It's not really louder. They're both louder than the devil.
The 50-watt starts getting crunchy power tube distortion sooner because it has less headroom.

45 and 50 about the same, and 100 just a little louder. It takes approx 10x increase in power to achieve a 2x increase in percieved volume, all other factors remaining equal:zrAC/DC wrote:How does the volume of one of these compare to a 100 watt plexi and how would it compare to the jtm45?

10W is perceived as approx.twice as loud as 1W
100W is percieved as approx. twice as loud as 10W
