Unless it's only background music, most of my serious listening is done in the 80 ~ 90dB neighborhood. Often enough, I enjoy rocking out with the bass bouncing the needle at 100dB, with higher peaks rattling the kitchen glassware.
Do you also need your good sounding system to play loudly as well as cleanly? Are there existing statics regarding this requirement, and the percentage of audiophiles for whom it's important? Thanks for your (global?) feedback.
