Curious, 99 db from what distance? If it is 1 meter, then if one is sitting 3 meters away, then the pressure is about 90db in free space. Of course, we are not generally listening in free space but there is still a drop. And there are some (not me) who routinely listen at concert levels which I think is over 90db.
As to many saying that after 40 or 70 it is too loud, I wonder if that is distortion. Usually distortion makes loud settings unbearable but very good systems without peaks can go very loud without the listener feeling uncomfortable. Just wondering out loud.
As to 3000 watts, it is clearly stated as peak, not continuous. If it is continuous, it will trip most home's fuses.
