Loudspeakers are not perfect. At high driving level, they add distortion to the music you play, reducing the quality of sound reproduction.
Whether you can hear the distortion depends on many factors - like the actual loudspeaker, the music you play, the loudness level, and the training of the listener.
We provide an interactive listening test where we determine the audibility of nonlinear distortion for different music signals and different speakers.
