Re: I'm just not sure about one thing

Well, just from a layperson's point of view, I think it's a little more complicated than that. First of all, we have your idea of "natural" sound, which has not been verified. Second, in real life, sounds farther off are often softer but have more reflected sound. Third, turning the volume down often makes the stereo image seem to move back some. Fourth, like it or not, at lower volumes, the ear is less sensitive to low and high frequencies.

Many posters here besides my self have suggested that speakers which sound good at low volumes tend to approximate the Fletcher-Munson curves (or someone else's equal loudness curve).
