    One lady friend asked, and I replied by asking her how loud her children went. She looked at me strange and said there's much more to them than that. QED.

    I once had a pair of 102db horns working with a 200 watt power amp. That was louder than anybody could stay in the room with!
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Actually, she may have a point ...
    My father once said to me whilst we were listening to my set up, "its like I'm listening to headphones". This was for me a great complement about my hifi.

    No No No. That's just being silly. 11 is more than you need.

    Ah, but

    DOES IT HAVE A NICE TONE?
    Tear down these walls; Cut the ties that held me
    Crying out at the top of my voice; Tell me now if you can hear me

    If visitors ask me how loud my system goes, then I show them. They don't generally ask again...

    I have heard someone say their iPhone was the best thing they heard with them crappy little headphones and I just could not get through to them about the sound quality they are missing...

    I think people have ever so slowly been moving away from what audio is supposed to sound like and have accepted the status quo with small tinny sounds that they don't realise true hi-fi till they are made to listen to it and not just play music in the background
