Normal listening volume for me is when the display is indicating around -10 to -15dB dB with my Raidhos which are 88dB sensitivity 2.83V/m but there is a fairly clear threshold between which it's poor and when it's good.
I'm surprised Jean-Marie that your indicated volume is so different for same-spec (interms of sensitivity figures) speakers. And I don't like it very loud!
The psycho-acoustic explanation seems quite plausible. Also perhaps room interactions at lower volumes?
Mine's running at -33.5 dB playing Bruno Pronsato 'Lovers Do' at this very moment and it sounds great
I haven't noticed any more degradation at low levels than I did with my previous Naim system.
