One other thing about low level...when you are listening to wide dynamic range music, like orchestral music you often have very loud and very soft sounds being produced at the same time. Often the loud sounds will mask the soft sounds in a system that does not do low levels very well. The abillity to hear the soft sounds within an envelope of loud sounds is something that the amp designer Allen Wright refers to as downward dynamic range (DDR). It is related to low level resolution and microdynamic capability of a piece of electronics (or speaker).
