>Changing the sensitivity of your speakers is kind of like saying, “substitute a lower power amplifier for quieter music”, isn’t it?<
No that is not it. A lower power amplifier will just clip. Loudness is adjusting the final mix to be flat at the volume you happen too be using at the moment. If they mix the music so that it is how they want you to hear it at say a reference 87 db level. Then what we want, is the ability to hear that mix at any volume from say 10db to 100db. Which is what a loudness compensator attempts to do. Keep the original mix at all levels within human hearing.
It does not have to be active because EQ, because in general, ears and human sensitivity to frequency change, don't change. You just figure it out and program it in. Of course this was all done fifty years ago. The new manufactures probably expect someone else in the chain of sound on your personal system to take care of it, but without the expertise nobody does. That is what the op has noticed.
