I dunno.... Bach's Tocata and Fugue In D Minor runs a pretty good second to
those hemis, losing by only a few dB.

I'll look tonight.  It is a delightful sound either way.  My wife calls it
my "friendship tester" because a true friend will sit through it.  It is a
spiritual experience just like hearing the twin KB hemis at full tilt at the
salt, the goose bumps just come on.  You can keep Bach, give me uncorked
pipes and a wild cam.
