Lots of AI too.

Psychoacoustics means much more than just "describing our hearing at different SPL levels." That's why I asked you to elaborate.

Loudness buttons that used to be prominent many years ago on receivers and integrated amps have all but disappeared. High sensitivity/high impedance speakers don't need help jumping to life at low levels (meaning your volume control doesn't have to be turned at least halfway up before your...

Do you have a screenshot of the post?

It's all about sensitivity and impedance. Low sensitivity/low impedance speakers require more power and current to come to life. It's not that they sound "bad" at low levels, they just don't jump to life as fast as high sensitivity/high impedance speakers do.

You can make anything expensive. That's why we have $10k power cords and thousands of dollars for power cord bras to hold them in place.

Understood. What was the price range of the amps you auditioned before you bought the Class D amps?
