From my experience modern oranges sound great at low volumes. Of course they sound better loud ! Probably no need to get a 100 watt if it's just gonna be used in your bedroom tho.

Way too loud. A ten watter would be half as loud and still way too loud. For living room / bedroom playing you need to think hundreds of milliwatts range to perhaps a couple of watts if you want to really annoy the neighbours. Certainly not tens of watts.

Guitar speakers are typically about 10dB more efficient than hi fi loudspeakers meaning they need 1/10th the power to get similar volume levels. Ever heard a trumpet at full blast? Pretty loud! That is very similar to a good 5 watt guitar amp. Really!!! :shock:

Owning a TH100, you can always play at low level, but you'll have a fizzy sound on the dirty channel, and not much headroom on the clean, even on the lowest wattage (35).
To play home I'd go on a tiny terror, and it's already loud !

But it didn't matter, 'cause they can't hear a sound
It's just the curl of the burl"
