Last night I went on an Allman Brothers jag. Have seen them many times. Starting out gently and choosing tracks to get progressively louder. By the time I got to Live at the Fillmore I just wanted to really crank it. Had been listening in the 75-80db range. In Memory of Elizabeth Reed caused me give it more juice. When I looked at the db meter on the iphone it was 85-95db. That is exactly how I remember them playing it. Nice to have a full range system! And I still haven't got any of the Pass amps out of class A operation.
To answer the OPs question, yes I enjoy listening softly as well. Back in the day many receivers had "loudness" switches. Now with an external x-over and tri-amped I can play that game for low level listening just better.
