My problem is that I really, really, enjoy listening to music quite loud...

If anything, real loudness makes room problems more apparent.  More energy==more bass and more surfaces excited.

If you have a good system you don't need loudness.  The details are already there.

In fact, you know you have a good system when it's relaxing to listen to, doesn't sound loud, yet you're energizing the room.  As I progressed up through the hifi chain, I found that this ease and relaxation was one of my favorite things about good hifi equipment.  I can quite literally talk on the phone, chat with my wife, etc while listening to the hifi--and this at normal listening levels.  With all the details.  MMMMMMN

Bad hifi is just gets plain LOUD and fatigues my ears.

my stereo gets loud and I don't even realize how loud it is until someone speaks to me.... it is never fatiguing and doesn't seem nearly as "loud" as it really is.

I actually have a hard time turning my sytem up real loud. When it's loud, I'll get sorta paranoid and start doing stuff like peeking through the blinds... because I'll hear something that's not really there. Anyone else have this problem? :)

Scott,

How do you like the rockets at curiosity?  Are they the sig version or not?

That room is quite nice, what are you using for treatments?  Tweaks?
