Medicinal commentary to cure audiophilic nervosa

Depends on neighbours and type of music. I enjoyed 80 dB with short bursts 95 dB dB at my listening position in a large acoustically treated room when I had no neighbours . With neighbours at my apartment I could probably be happy at about 72 dB. Unfortunately I am suffering at 65 dB due...

I wish I could find a high efficiency speaker that I like for a low power amplifier I yearn for
