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.

Never on headphones, due to tinnitus. 
Volume depends on the disc and the material. 
With my speakers/ controlled room/ears...

Never use my 7 pairs of headphones anymore since that event...

i apologize

I could not resist....
Interesting question. With a decent setup in an 8ft near-field triangle and non-fatiguing equipment, (C-weighted), low to mid 80s dB avg and highs in upper 80s, sometimes low 90s. It is so clean I wish it had more dynamics (must high-pass mains!).
