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.

I'm with Gadios and a couple others on this one.

To me... Maggies and Martins have a mellow/laid back sound.  Very inviting and relaxing.

I've never heard Rockports... but if they are as forward as B&W's... I can see why your ears might be hurting.  My ears can't handle B&W's for very long... before I get a headache.
