I must be getting old
I purchased a new integrated amplifier in December. I haven't been able to crank it up because of someone else's definition of reasonable volume. This other person happened to be out of the house for a couple hours and I seized the opportunity. I put on a couple of my favorite recent vinyl acquisitions and turned up the volume to about 90dB at my listening position.
I had to turn it down.
I'm not mad, just disappointed.
At least I won't regret going from a 500wpc power amp to a 280wpc integrated.
