How do you listen?


I listen to a lot of (classical) music. Most of the time I try to listen at concert hall volumes (really loud) so as to try and recreate the feeling I have  being in the hall.  But  recently I’ve discovered I can get satisfaction listening at moderate levels.  There is a certain relaxed quality to listening this way, and sometimes I think I hear more of what’s in the music.

Insane! Some think that to better listen we must crank up volume, slowly or not, they think that we perceive frequencies according to volume level of the gear only....

The room dont exist....

I dont need to crank up my volume ever....

Guess why?

I am with the OP....

Relaxed level are ALWAYS better... If not, your system-speakers/room acoustic is deficient, sorry to give you a bad news....

 
Jim Smith, tip number x and observed long before i met him…every recording, indeed every hall and reverberant space ( read venue ) has it’s “ bloom point “, with and without people ( read audience ).….

carry on.
s to n of the room matters, but my recollection is we wrangled that one to the ground also….
