I am a newbie on this site and I have read some interesting threads on 'whats best', my 2cent thread is;
A good loudspeaker has simply to make the music sound like real people playing, as if they were playing in front of you. If your system has a particular 'good' listening level, then your system is flawed, a good system should sound the same (quality wise, not loudness) at whatever level the volume is set and not improve as the decibels get louder. There is no such thing as a bad recording. There are systems that can't make musical sense out of the music, beit a cd or LP.
