  A generation discovering what the "loudness" button is for.

  If only companies called the loudness button "night mode" or "whisper mode" it would have made so much more sense all those years ago

  Daily bed time story. Paul, when you say "I'll see you tomorrow. Bye", I just close my eyes and fall asleep.

  Speakers that sound frequency balanced just as they just become audible are rare gems.

  Moving the speakers into a nearfield listening position can also help as the the listener would hear real increased levels  while the total sound output, and hence what others perceive would still be less. Thanks Paul!

  I bought a Yamaha receiver with variable loudness and that made me happy

  This is Brian. I had a pioneer qx8000 quad receiver. I used a Dual 1229  turntable with a top Empire Cartridge. I used 2 McIntosh rear speakers (3 way?) And 2 Old Sansui up front with 6 speaker array in them. All had 12 inch woofers. It was 3 a.m. , I was spinning vinyl in my apartment when my friend quietly whispered across the room, " Won't this bother the neighbors?"  I responded whispering back, " we are whispering  quietly and we are not as loud as the music"  So , how are we bothering anyone. Personally, you either need better equipment or you need to know how to operate your your current system.

  Add a graphic equalizer, low the volume and up the bass and treble.
