What speakers play the loudest cleanly ?


Wondering what speakers you guys have auditioned that play very loudly while remaining clean? In my (limited) experience it would be Revel Salons but I'm wondering what else is out there along those lines? I have no particuliarly good reason for the question, just curious.

I'm part of what appears to be a very, very small camp who thinks if one focuses first on proper line conditioning, vibration management, interconnects, and speaker cables, you may find that far more speakers will play clean at even extreme volumes.

That's loud? I consider 94 db to 105 db to be rich, full, and room filling. Beyond that is when the fun begins. :)

BTW, cool bikes.

Acoustat6, my loud comment was half in jest (I did have a smiley after the comment), but those are the listening volumes for me especially for some of the more rambunctious guilty pleasure types of music I enjoy.

BTW, when a topic such as loudness, ear fatigue, etc. comes up, we need to consider that some to many of the responses we read have as much to do with system compression, congestion, time-smear, improper or no line-conditioning, improper or no vibration mgmt, etc., etc..

In other words, without properly addressing some to many of these elements, 65 db, can make even a fine system sound too loud. If you know what I mean.

Am I into bikes? Am I ever!!! I'll just never drive one for fear of road rash induced by others.
