How do you listen?


I listen to a lot of (classical) music. Most of the time I try to listen at concert hall volumes (really loud) so as to try and recreate the feeling I have  being in the hall.  But  recently I’ve discovered I can get satisfaction listening at moderate levels.  There is a certain relaxed quality to listening this way, and sometimes I think I hear more of what’s in the music.

There seems to be a consensus-75 to 80ish db.
That is exactly how I listen. Going to the symphony, I have never had the experience of feeling the sound was too loud. Unlike listening to my system.
Rock concerts are a different experience. Especially close to the PA.
Maybe that is similar to being close to my system speakers?
