Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo M60s not as nice at lower volumes...

Thanks for the link, DSQ. So, what we need here is a good, old fashioned Yamaha "loudness" knob, eh?

Mark, I did not mean to sound so serious or to imply ANYTHING negative about your comment. I DO think getting a sub is a good idea. I've got to learn to "type happier" in the mornings. I sincerely apologize if my tone indicated anything other than friendly (and apparently mindless) tapping.

As McCoy says...

great link DSQ.. interesting and educational.

thanks dsq that was very enlightening!

Indeed DSQ. I believe you pretty much have it nailed.
There is a point at which the increase in volume has placed the higher and lower frequencies into a certain preference range for the listener. Any speaker will decrease in its sound 'quality' the lower the volume is turned.
Adding a sub, turning up treble or bass may add to the enjoyment of a low volume session even though it technically is 'colouring' the sound.
I prefer to listen to music at nothing less than 55 on the Onkyo absolute scale of 0-100. This equates to about 60dB if i remember correctly. For movies i prefer nothing less than 75, a dB approximation of 70-80.
