For the record 16db is extremely low. You won't hear it.

Also consider cabling too, it drives me nuts when I see cabinets with a few 3" holes for cables. Open back allows easy cablng and cooling. And some cabinets depend on the panel and weaken a lot if you remove them. The Salamander is designed extremely strong with no sides or backs at all.

Think Post and Beam home when you think of salamander. Versus most cabinets are "stick built" and they depend on the sheathing for their strength.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
