Is there any consensus that different Tubes shine more light on musicality at lower listening levels (say 75-78db)? I've upgraded from el34's to KT120's and noticed a deal of improvement in deeper tones and power. It's been some months, so I'm considering switching back to see if the same lower levels improve or change the experience. Does anyone have any insight to this? I've also considered room treatment to help with the echo in my room, which I'd assume will help with more detail in lower listening levels. But any thought on tubes? Throw your tomatoes and advice, thanks!
According to arthur salvator... NOISE FLOOR is how low on the volume dial can you go with all the music being present..The lower you can turn the volume down with all the music being there the better it is.
@tooblue I'm within 6.5 feet away from speakers, so I'm already pretty neat field. Maybe I just enjoy the sound of pushing the amp and speakers and need to learn to appreciate the lower volume and try to listen deeper. There doesn't seem to be an opinions on tubes, so room treatment may be what I need.
