Yeah the 105db levels I didnt listen to for long. Its really not all that comfortable

I probably do listen to music louder than alot of folks do. At least those of us not in the hobby. Personally, the only system I can listen to comfortably at higher volumes is my own, Any car stereo, or boombox or some movie theaters are completely unbearable. I will get a headache and just rather have pure silence. And its not the db levels I think its just the harshness and really unbalanced nature of those kind of systems. And for the record I dont find my 80's "bright" at all.
Im thinking before distortion like Grossly distorted where you can easily tell the speakers are no longer within their comfort zone.
