Does loudness play a part in your appreciation?

For me 70-75 is loud.  I don’t listen to rock.

Please answer the question on the basis of is what is loud for you.

For my age, my hearing is great.

It seems that the concensus here is that most people like their music really loud.

 I wonder if the poll was conducted among classical music listeners if the results would be the same.

I’m about 8 feet from the speakers.  I’m seated at this distance. The room is 23’ by 25’. Drivers are arranged up and down the front of the speakers. 
‘Maybe the size of your room dissipates the sound differently from mine. 80dB is overwhelming for me.

Yes, classical music has the widest dynamic range.

Absolutely right.  You can’t reproduce  a symphony orchestra In your living room. Even if you match the decibel reading level it will not sound the same.

Either my meter is broken or my ears are too sensitive, but listening continuously at 80 decibels is deafeningly loud on my system, which doesn’t distort no matter how loud I play it.

I was a classical musician who “lived in the world of real music.”  
My perception in the world of classical music was that in a musical space, like the stage in a concert hall, I was not deafened by the volume of the music.  Granted it may have been a little louder than my stereo, but not to the levels outlined here.

It should also be noted that the space in which you listen music in a concert hall is vastly bigger than your home listening space.  The music reaches you from a much different perspective.  80 dBs in a concert hall is not the same as 80 dBs in your living room.
