    Why do we need these things?

    Is it because of..

    1. We are getting older (i know how peoples hearing quality drops because of ages BTW)

    2. The loudness of modern sound systems

    3. Modern music cover greater frequency ranges

    IMO its a combo of all of these, but seriously at what point are people gonna start realising that music damages their hearing, he loudness of sound systems cannot carry on forever. there are physical limits to hunan hearing.

    I forgot mine. Would have been ok, but saturday and beltram was faaaaar to loud.

    But only because he was ragging the system. Bartos and radioactive man sounded crisp and clean. Joey was putting everything in the red and it sounded loud and a bit nasty.

    You don't need that much mid or highs when you're out. Just need huge amounts of bass. Unfortunately thats difficult to get right, so plenty of rigs compensate their lack of bass (needs huge amps, huge drivers and comlex speakers) with nasty angry mids (cheap, easy to power, sound loud)

    Some of the best systems I've heard will shake your ribs but you can have a conversation with the person next to you. Ministry of Sound's system is like that. Sublime.

    Very, very few soundsystems get it right.

    Agreed, both Beltram and Subhead were horribly loud at Bloc. Way too distorted, I didn't hang around for long. Thankfully, Sunday night was a different story

    I keep thinking about getting ear protection... I really should, given the pounding mine have received over the years
