[QUOTE="AlleyCat, post: 1171368, member: 2194"] [USER=15182]@Air[/USER] Stefan, and others, please fully read the context of the above. Let's remove and highlight the one critical sentence above : "[B]65 -75 dB (peaks) is average for my listening habits."[/B] Now read the rest again with this in mind. The point I was trying to make is that there is a big difference at those levels to compare for example : a fully formed recorded electric bass or upright acoustic bass or silent bass, at an approximate volume, size, weight, extension, etc, etc sounds in your room, at the requisite volume of said instrument. Whether you are in a church, a bowed acoustic upright bass still energizes that space around you, that could several meters away. You can also hear and feel that in your room, or at least get close to it. Some rooms/systems don't allow one to experience that because of equipment distortions, room resonances, etc, etc, and /or it being too soft. It is nice to know, I take personal pleasure with that knowledge, that I can turn up my volume and get a completely different experience, and I bathe and enjoy in both extremes. [/QUOTE]
