The quest for loudness becomes self defeating when your hearing gradually starts failing. If that is the desired outcome headphones get you there faster.
Volume considerations
I’ve discovered something after much listening. I generally like the volume high, trying to emulate the sound in a concert hall. However I found that listening at too high a volume actually detracts from the soundstage and realistic blend of instruments. The sound actually tends to flatten out at too high volumes.

"Another problem is that countless songs are poorly mixed and mastered."
@seymour-krelborn Yes, it amazes me that a Herbie Hancock, Art Pepper or Bill Evans recording from 55 years ago can sound so good ... while some contemporary offerings sound so bad. |
At high volumn spl can cause compression in the voice coils ,motor and it's ability to get rid of the heat generated thus large vented open voice coils in pro audio. Clipping from the amp and headroom come into play.this is why most of my amps are > 1kw 200 amps so if I want the db meter above 100 for a few songs I can do it. Dampening it how well your amp handles the feedback in emf and rf the woofer voice coils ,motors feed back to the amp. Thus why some bi,tri amp to keep that signal away from the mid and tweeters. Be careful cuz loud volumn can cause hearing loss. Enjoy the music get a db meter on amazon |
