[QUOTE="user 1447, post: 825973, member: 1447"] theres been many a time when i have heard guys playing loud enough to create audible distortion from their speakers, and to be honest with those speakers "begging for mercy" i wonder why if i can hear it, can't the owner then hear that he has it too loud my policy with my own system is that i generally will play as loud as i can comfortably handle but when i hear distortion i turn it two notches down (not just one) and thats why my systems tend to last me and subsequent owners as well ..... though this is where the higher end systems with high sensitivities with amplification levels that are very high have the huge advantage ie they will go effortlessly loud (much louder than most ears can handle before it is too loud) and the cheaper entry level systems will run out of steam way quicker but the owners still want to go louder .... which is their prerogative since they paid for the speakers so they can do so, but they should then not be overly surprised when one day they switch the system on and find the voice coils seized due to overexcursion [/QUOTE]
