I would like to think that common sense would prevail in this case to answer that question.If the output of 1khz and 10khz sine waves start looking like square waves when they start to clip,I would say that is excessive.
When the the snare drum has no snap and the bass drum sounds like the skin is very loose,I would say that is excessive.When vocals are fuzzy and sopranos come apart on the higher octaves,I would say that is excessive.
People have become oblivious to correctness until they get a good set head phones,like a pair of Stax ESLs and then they are all of a sudden hearing music for the first time as it should be..With headphones, you don't deal with room acoustic issues and if you gave a good clean amp,it will take you on a journey as you have never been.
