So I'm wrong about hi-fi's displaying dB scale. There are also audiophile's that spend £50 on a piece of speaker-cable or buy little boxes to rest speaker their cable on. These kind of people would probably appreciate a dB scale. Most, I'm guessing, would prefer to not have to deal with negative numbers. Once again though, I don't mind, I can deal with seeing a negative number when I would expect to see positive numbers. This is simple an opinion about what I believe most people would be more comfortable seeing.
