But my enjoyment of music has, since childhood, been tied to feeling music not purely hearing it. I love the feel of guitar strings being plucked, or drums thumping in my gut - the way I feel at a live performance, even with soft Jazz. I don't get that at 75db in my system.
I get that.
I've always had the same feeling. And I've mentioned here before that when I had a very powerful NAD amp in the past, if offered a feeling of "live" that I never got with a receiver. I had thought of it as better transients or attack.
