RE: Speaker vs room vs equipment vs system

My system profile is up-to-date, so yes I'm using the 150W Linar (yes, with Mosfet output -- quite a sweet sound). They are very high current (600W into 2 Ohms), and I found their bass drive better than the Bryston 4BSST I had before.

I no longer have that Denon 5900. It really didn't cut it driving Maggies ... though it could sound good on B&W -- go figure.

I listened to the 3.6s last night for 1.5 hours at (what I thought was) low volume last night. I have ringing in my ears this morning. The truth is, it wasn't low volume. It was smooth and open sounding, and I enjoyed the session, but I found I was missing so much information at this volume, that I would have liked to turn it up.

I want a speaker that I can listen to at moderate volumes, and never feel that I need to turn it up. You don't feel like you need to turn up a live performance, or turn up someone speaking right in front of you. Why should I feel that way with my speakers?
