An important factor in my enjoyment of music is sound pressure level. I’ve seen that others here tend to listen at higher SPL than I do, and I find it hard to relax at higher than medium-to-low levels. If I’m up doing things around the house, then louder is fine, but just kicked back enjoying the music, I like the music to be an element in the room and not consume the room.
When I first got into higher-level equipment a year ago, friends and family assumed that I would be rocking the neighborhood. I think some believe I over-spent if all I was looking for was mellow. But I can hear everything fine without the music bellowing at me.
Like knighttodd, I have the ML 60XT’s but paired with the Parasound A21 amp. I also have two subwoofers, but sometimes I forget to turn them on and the sound is still pleasing. They are efficient at 94, so not hard to drive even at 4 ohm impedance. Everyone likes something different.
