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.

i concur with the posts here. There IS a certain level that a particular track will sound best.
And, where you sit in a hall does determine the impact of an orchestra.

Interestingly, when listening to an orchestra at lower volumes you can picture yourself further back in the hall. Conversely, with higher volumes, closer up.
it’s all an illusion anyway.
