Also, each 3db increase in volume requires roughly double the power to achieve.

My denon 4520 sounds excellent running 9 speaker (plus 2 on external amp). I have no clipping or distortion. To improve my audio or loudness I'd need to spend THOUSANDS on amplifiers; which wouldn't be sonically discernible for most people. That money would be much better utilized on better speakers.
