Natural sweet spot in your system.


Something that has haunted most of my systems is finding the sweet spot as it relates to volume. Every one of the systems I have put together the past years seems to have a volume where everything works. I go outside of that on the low or high side and things fall apart. What is the most likely cause? The room, the amplifier or the speakers. How do I increase or lower the volume and keep the same balance in the frequency spectrum.

It may also have to do with the level at which the recording is 'cut'-- not everything comes into full bloom at the same marking on the dial. 
I agree, though, that there seems to be a 'natural' level where everything gels-- get beyond it, and the system sounds like it is 'playing at you' and below it, you don't get all the goods. (Obviously, some Fletcher Munson stuff or whatever it is now called, plus room, plus gear, plus?)
