Is a 12 watt speaker loud?

Is 10 watt speaker enough?

If loudness matters to you, go for a high wattage speaker, up to 100 watts, as this allows you to listen to clean audio. If you listen to audio at moderate sound, you do not need to worry about the power rating of your speaker. Most people will find 20 watts enough.

How many watts should my amplifier be?
