Best excuse for playing loud music?

Have you ever been told to turn the volume down on you hifi system? What is your best excuse for offending someone else?

The best I have heard came from a friend back in high school. His brother used to play music really loud in his upstairs bedroom. When his mother would ask him to turn it down, he would say, "I can't, I'm recording." His mother bought the excuse every time.

A good audio system, in a good sound environment does not have to be played loud to sound good. Mediocre equipt will sound better if played loud. I think it has something to do with resonance. If you have been in a midfi audio store to listen to a piece of equipt, the first thing the sales person does is crank up the volume. Go into a highend audio dealer, the level is at a more moderate listening level.
Now don`t get me wrong! Some people just like their music loud. More Power to them.

Jea48- The opposite is also true of extreme high end, really really good systems can play VERY loud and you have no clue that it is even loud until your talking to a friend in the room and your both yelling and still can't hear each other! It happens to me everytime I have guests over :)
