Not completely tongue in cheek:
Low level listening
I am interested in everybody's thoughts on speakers on low level listening. Currently I have Tekton Lore's. They are the upgraded model and I like them, but they open to most of the time at a higher volume then I'm comfortable with. Smart me had to much fun listening to live music. " tinnitus". I have ordered Magnapan LRS+ which I auditioned at my home which seemed more articulate at lower volumes. Any other ideas would be appreciated. Speakers or cures ? Just kidding about cures.

+1 @elliottbnewcombjr, you can fight biology, but it is probably better to work with it. Anything else is going to be a band-aid. |
This is biology, not nonsense. Our hearing sensitivity at different frequencies changes with volume. It is why music sounds different with changes with volume. A speaker with exaggerated bass or recessed mids may sound better at lower volume than one that does not, but you solve an issue at low volume and create a new one at high volume. There are easier ways to fix this.

@bobdavid , you have the Lokius so you are set up for playing with equalization for better low volume listening no matter the speakers. |
There is no evidence of this I am aware of. That would show up in improved distortion at lower volume which I do not think that is the case. I expect primarily this is a factor of a higher ratio of direct sound versus indirect sound with panels. |
