Ears hurt when listening after changing speakers


For years I had multiple models of Maggies and Martin Logan speakers. I could play them very loud with no problems with my ears. A few months ago I purchased the Rockport Aviors and now when I listen at moderate to high levels my ears start to hurt.  Anyone one else experience this when changing speakers and would like thoughts on how to resolve other than turning the volume down.  I do love the Rockport.

@geoffkait ...No kidding....

Those pesky quantum states again....;)
Psychoacoustics based in a real physical situation; there's been a side note about women preferring listening to ribbons and planars over other driver types.
I've gone to wearing 'roadie' earplugs at concerts.  It's not the music being loud....it's the audience yowling at the end of a set or end of a solo.  The 'not-so-white noise' we create as a crowd screws my hearing up.  It may take a day or 2 to get back to 'normal'...or what's left. *g*
I can appreciate some  claiming symptoms of an audio nature.  It's the 'why & how' that either can be discerned or remain a mystery.

Takes a lot of ears to fill the venue. ;)
