Sorry about your speaker, hope you’re kidding about the ear drum. but I didn’t say that you should crank your system all that way up, just wanted to make sure that the volume was up enough to catch all the “layers” of voices from all sorts of different distances. This was no mere recording of a head shot over a crowd, or even the sounds of a neighborhood, tose were the voices of a vast city.
No worries. I was kidding and mostly concerned that you couldn't hear it without turning it up since the volume was more than sufficient at low level for me.
