I think I'm playing my speakers way too loud without realizing it. Sometimes, when I'm sitting at work, or late at night, I can feel my ears burn and hum, like they do after a concert. And I'm usually at least 15 ft away from the speakers when I listen to them. I don't stick my head against them anymore. Learned that lesson quick enough.

Guess that's one of the drawbacks of having speakers that are highly efficent and can take a lot of power without distortion ;-)

I find that with my JBL 2226,i leave it going for an afternoon and i get a headache..when im in the next room.

perhaps my ears arent screaming because my main speakers are quiet(not Pis)

and im only nearing 107db with 10watts in corner..

I think my problem is that I'm used to judging volume by distortion. If I don't hear any, it can't be that loud. I only realize how loud I've been listening to music with the Pi Towers when I took out the garbage and clearly heard the music from the side of the street. I'm pretty sure I've been listening at concert levels without realizing it.
