According to Victor, drums were chosen to test power handling and reproduction of very high peak levels, which turned out to be around 130 dB SPL.

Victor's talk Sunday will be about what it takes to organize a demonstration intended to reproduce a live event with loudspeakers, a feat today that is too awesome for most hi-fi systems.The current BAS Newsletter has some of the demo information, but it is missing the hands-on or 'your are there' contribution of its creator.In the course of the evening, Victor will reveal the realistic standards that a amplifier, tape recorder, and loudspeaker must achieve before any semblance of sonic reality can enter your listening room.
