Can the room acoustic affect the sound differently at different volume levels?
The reason I am asking is because my room is acoustically very bad, it's 20x11x8 ft, hardwood floors, plain walls and very little furniture. At the beginning it was pretty bad, then later, after putting a high pile rug on the floor, it became much better. Up to know, I only listened at moderate levels but this weekend, I had a friend over, I put on the Dave Matthews BD concert and as usual, it sounds very good. My friend then asked me to turn up the volume. At high volume, the imaging became pretty bad, the sound became more "blurry", and it sounded almost the same as before I had put the rug. When going back to lower volumes, it sounds good again. Is that possible or is it just me since I am not used to the sound of these speakers at this level?
