Wow, 95+ SPL is extremely loud except for peaks every now and again. IME most speakers can't play that loud effortlessly and without significantly more distortion. I'm more of a low 80s SPL and at that volume the Ushers shine. Given a big enough treated room they cast a massive soundstage with lots of gravitas.
Vivids can play very loud without distortion. If 90+ dB is hurting your ears try a better DAC (Although the Aqua is a good one) or perhaps reflections are zinging.
