I am not sure about Arny (who no doubt experiments with
high-power amps and high-power requirements much more than I
do), but it is a rare day indeed when the peak SPL levels
hit 100 dB with my music listening.

According to reliable sources, the peak dynamic range in classic
percussion can max out to 118dB. What is your NC level, fool?

It's probably quite a bit better than a room with 2,000 people sitting,
fidgeting, breathing, farting, coughing, digesting; along with 100 people
standing, sitting, blowing, sawing, and beating on instruments.
