Re: Do you listen that loud?

No the average levels are that loud but the peaks could be because I often listen to wide dynamic range recordings (like 20+ db over the average level). So if it takes only a few ms to heat the coil up (one large peak) and 10-30 sec to cool it down then it is clear that thermal compression can be a problem for the music following the peak(s). The point is that the response of the system is not constant but instead constantly changing subtly. This can affect imaging stability also (for instance if the woofer in the left speaker has sublty different dynamic behavior than the right speaker woofer).
