Does loudness play a part in your appreciation?


I wish it weren’t so but listening at high volume (around 70 decibels) tends to make me get more involved in the music.

How about you?

I tend to prefer to  listen to several genres, (rock, pop, country, classical, jazz) at peak loudness of 80-88 dB. The softer parts being in the 70 dBs.

Peaks above 90 dB start to feel uncomfortable after a few minutes.

I'm seated about 8' from the plane of the speakers.

My room is 14'x15'. 8' ceiling. Acoustically treated.
