not necessarily.
ohms (resistance), size of the speaker, and size/weight of the magnet can all drastically affect the sound. even ceramic vs alnico can make a difference.
at least with guitar amps, wattage doesn't really mean much outside of "this is how much wiggle room you can expect to have before things start breaking up" but even then it's more of a generalized rule rather than "more watts = more louder"
Also, wattage is logarithmic. 100w is not "twice as loud as 50w".

Your friend is smoking crack if they think you can't tell the difference between TV speakers and even a cheap soundbar. Just by virtue of physical dimensions, TV speakers will always have limited range for bass frequencies.

But 'wattage' and 'quality' are not synonomous. Higher wattage just means louder, not better sound. That only comes with, sadly, more expensive rigs.

I did always wonder though... the scandal was w/ the company and the imposters using other peoples' music, so.... why did the band just die instead of the actual singers getting to continue w/ the popularity and success their music had garnered? People obviously liked their music, why didn't they get to become big name artists after the truth came out?

The producer (Frank Farian, a first-class asshole) had specifically selected Rob and Fab as the public face of the singers because he didn't think they were photogenic enough to be pop stars. After the whole thing blew up, he washed his hands of it and let the project die. And in that era, it would have been very difficult to find information/photos of some random studio singers.

Her limitations stem more from the direct contact her bending requires. Any fight or situation where she literally cant feel the earth puts her at an immense disadvantage, with the airship fights, and Combustion Man in particular where he was far enough away she couldnt sense him, completely neutering her ability to do anything. Toph is either insanely strong, or completely vulnerable, no real in-between.
I liked how the show demonstrated the difference between benders who work with physical matter (water/ice/blood, earth/stone/metal) and insubstantial substances (air, fire/lightning): an Airbender, for all practical purposes, always has access to their element; likewise, Firebenders can generate flame with their breath. But if you put Waterbenders or Earthbenders in places where they have no access to their element (plopping Toph on a boat in the middle of a lake, or Katara in a desert) they're almost useless.

Suddenly going from Earth being the most important thing in the universe to being a not-even-mentionworthy speck near the sun is pretty intense.

Like, it's not even just that Earth isn't the center, but, that its mass is 0.0003% of the sun's. Jupiter could fall into the sun and the sun wouldn't notice, but also the Earth could fall into Jupiter and Jupiter wouldn't notice.

Like some people living in the Jovian equivalent of Russia would be like what the hell was that and upload their dashcams to Jupetube and notice that their windows broke, but everyone elee would be like "huh wow interesting" but still go to work.
