My post was indended to correct technical misconceptions in your earlier post. It was not intended to start a debate as to what is or is not "audible" or how one might claim, prove, or disprove some aspect of audibility. If you disagree with specific words in my post, then please go ahead to identify them and the reasons you you think my comments go beyond technical facts unrelated to potentially disputatious points of psycho-acoustics.
I listen to live acoustic music at concerts. I play it back at the same levels when I listen at home. The volume levels depend on the scale and scope of the music and the musical arrangement/orchestration. RMS volume levels may go as high as 90+ dB for fortissimo passages, and peak SPLs to perhaps 115 dB under these circumstances. I listen in near field and can reproduce realistic row 10 concert volume for Mahler symphonies. I normally have no neighbors closer than 1000 feet. My system plays cleanly at the volume levels that I choose. Were I to subject myself to crude, loudness-war "music" my system would have no difficulty creating hearing damage since it is rated at peak SPLs of 118 dB at my listening position.
