RE: Scientific Truth

You are too right! And...

It's not just jitter, crossover distortion is also terribly audible at moderate levels. Audibility depends upon the nature of the distortion. Both IFM and crossover are 'unnatural' forms of distortion and both are just as active at low levels as they are at maximum output.

Our ears are logarithmic and have a fair degree of intrinsic distortion as a function of level. Who cares how bad something sounds at such high levels that your ears are the dominant term? You might hear it if it goes into hard clipping but if that's at a high enough level the main thing you notice is a long term dulling from your tweeters burning out.
