RE: real life has headroom...and lots of it.

For many years I lived with a system that had limited headroom. I dealt with distortion, clipping, blown fuses and a few blown drivers. Now I have a system that will play louder than my ears can stand, louder even than row 10 volume at a symphony concert. Now I adjust the volume until the recording sounds natural. The volume depends on the type of music and the perspective the producer chose when making the recording. I would never go back to a wimpy system incapable of sounding real.
