Ahh..well...then ya, I guess dense would be the word for me.

I didn't realize that. I spent at least a minute spinning the volume control up and down, searching for the numbers. LOL!

Now, I know!

Led Zeppelin at 12 was loud enough for me

I don't see his comment on being smart-assed at all. My Bose puts out phenomenal sound at 12-15, anything higher than that is pure overkill/youthful exuberance.

So everyone does knows that depending on what your source of audio input is, that volumes even at the same setting could be very different. An ipod at 15 volume is going to be much louder than FM radio at the same volume..

That, and mugh higher it starts stripping out frequencies and distorting.

Hell, I didn't even know it had numbers on the volume :embarrassed: all I see are little squares getting filled or emptied when I change the volume...

OK, I stand corrected. 18 is perfect volume. Tested with Van Halen.

I'm assuming the bad smell was burning silicon of the power amplifier. Do you guys think this would be covered under warranty?

How old are you? I'm guessing under 20, if not then how mature are you? i'm guessing not very. Throw out that rap crap.

So the lower the volume the more mature and older we are? OP did not even mention listening to rap

No. But apparently from what other posters have said already 26 is EXTREME. So what kind of "person" would turn up the volume to this? Were the speakers distorting? surely they would have been? GENERALLY speaking you see a lot of "young" people with too much testosterone and too much to prove doing this kind of thing, hence my original comments. Rap was an assumption.
Too many morons out there and too little commonsense.

More mature than you are, apparently.
