In a good/proper balance system(with proper room treatment) using high listening level will not cause any listening fatigue.
Listening fatigue are caused by the following:
1. Poorly design audio equipments
2. Use of transistor equipments
3. Poorly design speakers, also speakers are too small and
inefficient
4. Poor room treatment
5. Mismatched equipment
6. Owner's ability
The phrase "You are what you eat" also apply in here.
In other word, the listening fatigue that you heard from you system are the sum of all the distortion in the audio chain..............
