This looks like a good recipe for a premature hearing loss. One reason I think we tend to play things too loudly (guilty as charged here) is to make up for lack of the sense of envelopment we get in a performance space. Another reason is that much home system can’t do justice to bass fundamentals, so we turn up the volume to try to compensate. I’ve found that with speakers that are full-range or almost full-range, I tend to listen at lower average levels. Really.
