Duhh, we covered this last year. Run em 5/8ths of Maufacturer's spec and the sound will be FAR less strained sounding, and FAR FAR FAR more relaxed and easy sounding.I experimented with this in the past, and two weekends ago See my recent report below, as the very last two paragraphs in particular apply directly to your question, and what we heard.
