Dismal 62W? Excuse me, I think you've fallen into the audio wattage penis wagging game. Seriously. On most small speakers like this, a good, solid 1 Watt per channel should be very loud. One should be able to get 85+dB at one meter from that one speaker at 1 Wpc, unless there is a huge sub in the mix. I can see this system being able to go beyond 100dB, though it may distort a lot up there. 100dB is incredibly loud in my opinion. Most people don't watch movies that loud, the average level seems to be commonly set around 60dB, and that only needs 0.01% the power of what is needed to generate 100dB.
While I can understand people may not want to run wires, it's not the same thing, audio-wise. A lot of people might not care, it's often a noticeable improvement in spacial perception over stereo, and that's all they care about.
