As far as the loudness effect goes, check this out: http://sl.wus0.com/quclk.go?rd=http://www.bcae1.com/loudness.htm&res=6&crid=4cbf baae6e2ef51d&pos=1&mr=25&qu=loudness Perry (creator of bcae1.com) claims that the loudness setting has "little or no effect" in the upper end of the volume range; I disagree. Like 'Der Fuhrer!' stated, it in fact does cause distortion at higher volume levels. |

When you crank it up >50% then the "Loud" does not take affect any more. With a high-end system "Loud" is not needed, but it may help an OK system at lower volumes. |
