Just to add, 3db is twice the power. +10db doubles the apparent loudness.

I have a large collection of vintage amps that I want to profile. All original speakers, and a lot of them are blackface Fenders.

So, for example, right now I'm profiling a '67 Band Master. I had it up to about four on the volume. Profile sounds really good.

But the profiling tones were *really loud*. I was already worried about the speakers at that volume. But where this amp really shines is when it's up at nine or ten. I'm just afraid that the speakers can't take that. It's not the same as a guitar signal.

So just wondering if anyone has any thoughts about this.
