The goal of musicians earplugs is not maximum attenuation. They are intended to allow listening to music but at a lower level, with even attenuation across frequencies.
Oh yes she does.
She walks noiseless but if she crosses the room behind me its like turning a balance knob on the subwoofer.
Tried training her to sit on specific spots depending on music and volume.
Guess what? .....
such plugs don't even try to have a stable frequency response, which is what the person starting this was looking for.
I had a pair of custom plugs many years back, it had some sort of powder in a canister along a tiny vent in the mold. violent sounds would push the content and momentarily increase the dampening of sound. but after that when the stuff inside was at "rest", I could ear "reasonably" well. listening to music with those was like having the worst compressor DSP set to make sure we can't enjoy the music.
as for full on plugs aimed at massive attenuation, I had some done when I got into driving trains, thinking I was so clever. never got to use them as I soon learned that it's illegal while driving(at least in France it is). but anyway, those plugs did not even pretend to try and keep a balanced frequency response. listening to music was the same as being behind a concrete wall. "it's all about that bass".
some plugs are made for the very purpose of listening to music and as I said last time, while it's not perfect, obviously it's way better suited for music listening as it was done specifically with that in mind.
So are you a Mopar guy or just happen to have a valiant? Either way that's a sweet ride. My dream car is a 66 coronet 2 door with a big block and a 66/7 charger grille.
If anything I'm a Valiant guy, even more specific than a Mopar guy. I've had seven over the years, four of them convertibles, including the current one.
Sorry for going a bit off topic, but since many of you have experience with 2 channel systems I was wondering:
What nice speakers under $1000 could be powered with the 2W per channel of the BottleHead S.E.X.?
Does more power change the option for nicer speakers in the same price range or 2W is good enough if the speakers are sensitive?

That's venturing into a specialized area with its own cult following — systems with low powered tube amps driving efficient speakers.
I suggest that you ask in Bottlehead's own forum. There is a speaker section: http://bottlehead.com/smf/index.php?board=12.0
