not sure if your being facetious but I will address your questions.

". . . will I suddenly hear a major improvement in the AC power quality because the walls are not vibrating from the speakers?"

One cannot use this scenario as the vast change in the acoutical environment when wearing headphones vs. the room and the room is taken out of the equation is too large and the AC assesment would be overshadowed.

"What if I just turn the volume way down? Should I hear the quality of the mains improve compared to when it was playing loud?"

What we are dealing with here will have more to do with room acoustics and it's effect on the system sound. If poor room acoustics are in play, then again, one would hear the reduction of the influence of the room way before hearing the effects it has on the AC integrity.

"Would this be a good way to see if I'm making improvements in my AC line "acoustic isolation"?"

Again, if U have a very poor room in which the room is awash in acoustical distortion(s), then it would be hard to discerne just how much the AC is being effected by the room acoustic bombardments as these would be the overlaying issues masking the small details.
