Sound levels approaching the levels that you describe are damaging
to ones ears. Way too loud for me. Listening over over 100 db for
long periods is even too loud for me and the older I get the more
cautious I get. Low bass does not bother me, but I have found that
low distortion, definition, and a system with a huge sound-stage,
great imaging, and the feeling of a huge space is what I like the most.
Getting ones system to sound great at lower levels (transparency) is
what the Martin Logans, Tympanis and rotary do well (a great
dynamic range).
Room acoustics plays an enormous role in achieving this, as well. Dynamic
range is expanded and with the ability to hear down to the quietest levels,
prevents me from listening to damaging levels that many audiophiles seem
to prefer.
My friends system, consisting of Apogee Scintillas, Stages, Hill Plasma
and two rotary subs sounds great at louder levels, but way too loud
for me.
When I was young I owned Klipschorns and played music at those levels
that you decribed, but soon realized that after listening for extended
periods my ears started to ring (Tinnitus).
