Required watts = 10^((target − sensitivity)/10) × distance² (Dolby DARDT method: per-band screen targets, 115 dB LFE with array gain, a 102 dB surround array shared equally by its speakers). Speaker headroom is speaker rating vs that power; amp headroom is the amp channel rating at the speaker impedance vs that power. The amp mix is searched for the lowest total amp price that covers every channel, so 8-channel amps are used wherever they are cheaper per channel.
