Have kids changed, or has society changed?

[TygerTung]

It doesn't matter how high quality the system is, it is the spl which does the damage. I'm a musician and part time audio engineer so I know about these sort of things.

Be careful tygertung you are really starting to sound like the government. What business is it of yours if I damage my ears or not? They are my ears I will do with them what I please. If I want to listen to a bit of 'loud' music then that is my prerogative, my ears. Really for you to assume I damage my ears just because I bought 'thousands of dollars' worth of sound gear is not on. Yes I have probably damaged my ears listening to loud music, so sue me.

Better for you. I can give advice if I want to. You can choose to accept it if you want to.
