RE: real life has headroom...and lots of it.

"For many years I lived with a system that had limited headroom. I dealt with distortion, clipping, blown fuses and a few blown drivers. "

Yea me too in the early 90s and before. I used to put a screwdriver in the fuse slot of my Polk Monitor 10Bs when I ran out of fuses - lost a couple of drivers that way. I kept them for almost 10 years.

That said you've got a great system Tony but not everyone around he is as fortunate as you - many of these people are where you were 40 years ago when you were just starting out.

And just to make sure this doesn't get lost in the shuffle - my point was for many/most people subjective performances trumps objective performance. I think that's been the hallmark of the high end since the majors got run off in the late 70s / early 80s.
