pippy Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 "Watts" is a mathematical calculation of power consumption' date=' not a measure of loudness. Loudness is measured in "decibels". Though higher watts does certainly mean higher volume, the only actual way to compare the volume output of any two amps is to measure the decibels they produce, for each amp, or type of amp, may have a different "efficiency". It's just like the fact that light bulbs are described per wattage, but the brightness of light is actually measure in "lumens". That's why a the new compact fluorescent light bulb listed as 15w (power consumed) puts out the same light as an old style 60w incandescent bulb (950 lumens).

six-string Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Much more importantly - tube watts aren't just louder... they're gooder! not only that...they're tubular! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
