How anyone could even * think * about having a sound
system in the home that is capable of going 10 dB and
more above those ear-bleeding levels, is totally beyond
me.

120 dB at 10 Hz cleanly reproduced simply isn't all that loud.

The threshold of hearing at 10 Hz is no less than 60-70 dB.

People are subjected to 120-130 dB+ at 10 Hz when they drive their cars at
70 mph with the windows down, or in a convertable.

It gives him bragging rights. It is also fitting, as he
earns his living these days testing auto sound systems
for manufacturers. Including, I suppose......boom, boom,
de boom,boom auto systems.

It can sound really good, and yes, more realistic.
