Ramius used to have a 'shake the building' stereo.
I'd like a good stereo system, and for classical type stuff you gotta turn it up a little just to hear the softer parts and all...but there's such a thing as so loud it's no longer fun to listen. IMO, at least.
And I wouldn't feel OK with playing anything loud if I was in a building where I was like to bother other folks. I'm overly worried about that...so it's hard to comprehend the other extreme. ;-)
