72-78dB is not low. But more definition comes from sitting closer to any speakers

I listen at an average SPL in the 75-80db range and consider SPL averaging 80dB to be loud.

At lower levels our ears have a harder time hearing bass, and treble.
Adjust the frequency response with tone controls, or a loudness control, or an equalizer.

Definition improves for all speakers if you sit closer to them and keep them (and your ears) far from any walls/corners (you get to hear a higher percentage of direct speaker sound, and a lower percentage of room reflections).

Tweeters at the same height as your ears, and pointed at your ears, will provide the loudest treble.
