True https://www.google.de/search?q=auratone&client=firefox-a&hs=Clt&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=np&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=aeQwUtCAGcGatQaHs4G4CA&ved=0CDEQsAQ&biw=1152&bih=703&dpr=1 However, modern crappy 200 W and more hifi equipment often only works when the music is insane loud, at sane levels the speakers and what ever else in the sound chain, are more biased, than at blast level. I had a neighbour who is young, with a modern hifi, who listened to black eyed peas or other crap that does sound as criminal as they do. The generation "I even listen to my music, when using the local public transport, at full power, by my smart phone speaker" owns gear that perhaps doesn't fulfill what should be expected for "HiFi" equipment. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
