Message: <blockquote data-quote="thadman" data-source="post: 3268477" data-attributes="member: 561122">acoustic energy does not increase linearly with sound pressure levels.  The relationship is logarithmic.  It makes much more sense to show the logarithmic relationship than try to display the information in a linear form.  Linear values can be misleading.btw that is a very high sound pressure level.  People who understand how sound works and wish to design a sound system know that close to a flat frequency response is desirable for sound quality (some response aberrations are ok, but large deviations are undesirable).  The bass has to be at the same relative level as the midrange...how often do you listen full range at 100dB+ (if often, your hearing is probably terrible).  On top of that, getting a full range system with low distortion and dynamics (the crest will exceed 100dB) at those output levels is VERY difficult.</blockquote>
