What is nearfield listening?
The time alignments required to make that happen are not possible imo because it would need a precise and particular room dimension, would it not? I think reflected sound is actually a hindrance. Sit outside on a really humid day with a big system... 
Who needs drugs when you've got music?
Not sure what that apology was for but Wolf, it seems you're our case study here. You've confirmed the inefficacy of drugs or "herbs" as pertains to the inspiration of art or at the very least music. So what is the loss you claim when attempting t... 
Who needs drugs when you've got music?
Really? Is Alice In Wonderland the only novel ever written? 
Who needs drugs when you've got music?
You've got your wires crossed. Do you really think super smart people with no issues are going to be willing to compromise their mental acuity for more than experiment?BTW, it does a lot more than just make you dumb, fat, and lazy. You can't not k... 
Beware of 'Ghost Switching'
Wow, this is uncanny! I remember playing cards into the early hours one morning with a girl about 25 years ago. The fluorescent fixture's ballast was on it's way out. I don't recall the game we were playing but it was a type where you could surmis... 
The Demise of the Hi-End Audio Store
So there you go. Nothing to complain about. I do relate to the OP though. Yes, they only carried a few brands. But a handful of hi end shops in a population of 200,000 or so covered the entire range, pretty well. All the best brands were represent...

That's the king of the one liners so far:)

If T clicks his heals, can he get home from there too? 
Less volume with a more powerful amp
Thank you all for putting things in perspective. 
Less volume with a more powerful amp
I'm assuming there's a point at which the lack of sensitivity begins to prevent part of the signal from being transferred or amplified. 
Less volume with a more powerful amp
Okay, thank you. I guess what I'm getting at is where the threshold of signal loss begins. Is it interdependent on the gain of the pre or will it occur at a certain point regardless? And will the noise floor begin to add to it? Or is it a separate... 
Less volume with a more powerful amp
I don't mean to pester you but is high sensitivity commensurate with a low noise floor given all other performance parameters are of a high standard? 
Anybody has experience with Building a TAD
You might want to join the Lansing Heritage forum dedicated to diy JBL. TAD and JBL are close companions and TAD is oft integrated into JBL clones. Some of these guys are ex JBL engineers and love the preservation of the products they helped desig... 
Less volume with a more powerful amp
Is particular amp sensitivity a predetermined engineering goal for a given design or is it an incidental outcome? 
Who needs drugs when you've got music?
Wolf,does that include choosing the correct ones?
