[QUOTE="McIntosh, post: 6149791, member: 605496"] Yeah, right. 150 dB will cause virtually immediate permanent hearing loss. No going back, permanent. A simple Google search for dB hearing loss, hearing damage whatever will show that. 150 true dBs is basically "fatal" to your ears in a matter of seconds. Going by specs alone, my home speakers should peak around 125 dBs. The specs may lie, but I can tell you it is painful in just a few minutes. Way too fricken loud. Thats with 50 year old ears that have obviously lost sensitivity to higher frequencies. Not to mention a few concerts in my day. You have obviously not been listening to 150+dBs for years or even minutes if you can hear anything. Put your ear next to the nozzle of a jet engine at full thrust and see how long you can take it. That's roughly the same SPL you're purporting you routinely listen to. There's a reason the flight deck crews on aircraft carriers wear hearing protection. Its necessary. I'm guessing you also think MP3s sound good? Get real. [/QUOTE]
