Once again John, I think you have missed the point.I was illustrating the effect of the inverse square law in terms of amplifier power required vs speaker distance.
I haven't overlooked "a few rather important points" as you seem to suggest, they were simply not germane to the discussion. And yes, I did take all these factors into account when I said my amps are barely sufficient for my system at 250w/ch. I can walk you through the calculations if you are interested.
Equally I could also say you have overlooked many points as well, such as the relationship between frequency and power, average vs peak levels, ... which may make your estimate of "middle hundreds of watts" grossly inappropriate.
But that wasn't the point, was it? This is not a game of oneupmanship, which you seem to be fond of engaging in.
