I liked the suggestion that the different way a panel speaker loads a room vs a conventional box speaker has the owner listening at higher spl.
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.
