Can someone give me an idea of how loud these are (at top volume) without sound distortion?

Actually pretty impressive. Don't think your going to rattle windows in the house, but will play load enough for a 20x20' room.

They can get pretty loud before you hear distortion. Maybe the rubber protective cover has something to do with it, I'm not sure. We ride dirt bikes and camp at campgrounds geared toward the sport so it gets pretty noisy sometimes, this speaker holds it's own.

They are no so bass heavy as to creat distortion with pop or rock. It's just relative to the M-100s I think they have a bias toward the bass end of the sound spectrum. There is no distortion, just the beautiful sound no matter what type of music you're listening to.

This I am not sure but I do like these speakers, I can detect no distortion, but then I don't really need to crank them up they will blast you out in a average size room and the clarity is very good I'm impressed and will use them with my new 60" TV and fill the house with cable music when required.

Dear Battle_scarred, I asked my husband, as these were purchased for him. He feels they put out plenty of volume. He only goes up halfway and they are plenty loud for him.

I am no expert or audiophile but I think they have really great sound. No distortion, great highs and lows. I have usd them with my pc to my smartphone.

Don't really have anything to compare them to. We have them in the kitchen ceiling and they sound good. No problems with them at all.

kind of a hard question to answer over the internet. They seem loud enough for me and I happen to be a bit hard of hearing.

4500 will be too much for these speakers. Do NOT buy these speakers. They sound horrible if you turn it up at all and there's no bass. I don't even use them anymore, they were a waste of money. I'm now using car speakers which work pretty good.

That was a concern of mine as well, since the design is supposed to be kind of open. I usually listen at about 1/3 - 1/2 max volume, and a couple of times I took out my earbuds and held them in front of me and I couldn't hear anything. So I think they're pretty decent at directing the sound, although this is obviously not a thorough test.

High end is definitely exaggerated on these. It borderlines on harsh but could be described as just extremely crisp depending who you ask. I have tinnitus and I've started to realize that the increased high end on these cans are irritating it quite a lot, even at low volumes.

although I'm not an audiophile, I do not hear any distortion from my system. It is connected to a SONOS internet amp. Last week we had a Loud B-day party and no distortion was heard. yours may be defective or the connection from the system may be generating feedback. If you are looking for bass and treble adj. this system may be too basic for you.

The sound is fine. I haven't noted any distortion even when the volume is turned up quite a bit.

300 600rms I have a 1600 watt amp and these hit hard and barley flex. Been a year almoat and I play loud bass bosst all the way up gain all the way up and no distortion or clipping

They are 1500rms. Between 750 and 850 is optimal for these. I have a 3200.1bd Zeus pushing 2 of these 12's. It's turned way down of course. I Listen at loud volumes all the time and I haven't had any issues. You were probably pushing it to hard. Try turning the amp down. If I didn't purchase these I would have chosen a different sub. If money isn't a object try sundown audio D2's. If you want to stick with L7's then just turn your amp down so because anything over its peak watts is just producing heat which will blow your subs every time! Hope this helped

yes they are very loud,not only loud you get a crisp clear sound with out any distortion very strong bass, but you need a external amplifier if you want to plug them to a computer 100 watts amp per channel minimum,computer does not have enough power to run these speaker,you can get some external computer speakers!!!!

Oh then definitely do NOT purchase them. They bleed sound. I mean, I listen to music pretty loud, but if you're in a quiet library other people will definitely call you out. These are more for travel, airplane, home use, and whatever else. I know how you feel, I want to use these at the library all the time but not good :/
