Interresting read. I had to go test this. I popped in the first CD I ever bought, Dire Straights Brothers in Arms, the very first DDD album in my collection and found a volume setting to achieve ~78 dB with peaks at 80/81 dB. Then I put in Dixie Chicks Wide Open Spaces CD and at the same volume setting I was now at 88 dB with peaks to 91/92 dB. Then I pu in my newest CD, the latest Rascal Flats offering and had to dive for the remote. It was now at 94 dB with peaks to 98 dB! Guess I should have shut the hall door, cause I woke up my oldest boy sleeping at the far end of the house (~100 feet away)!

interesting.....did you notice the quality difference at those loud volumes?
