It is definitely taste, but my recommendation is to play a variety of things: leads, chords, palm mutes, hard, soft, fast, slow… You will find the speaker compression affects them all differently. Ultimately, you are dialing in feel and dynamics.But is it a simple taste preference or there is a physical reason/trick/ motus operandi to set the speaker compression to a specific value?

fantastic use case tbhI'll use it occasionally when using two different amps with different headroom characteristics. It's my "last resort" to even out volumes between the two amps when gain staging different drives.
