One factor that is probably involved is the Fletcher-Munson Effect. The sensitivity of our ears to low and high frequencies, relative to their sensitivity to mid-frequencies, decreases at low volumes.

Why magic at 80 db?

If your speakers can deliver clean undistorted sound it will generally get better and better as the SPL inceases, up to a limit of between 95 and 100 db SPL. Generally 105 db SPL and higher at the listener is becoming uncomfortably loud. The better the recording the more you can enjoy the music at louder (peak) levels. It is likely that your previous speaker was so distorted that it did not sound good at increased levels. |
