This subject was covered, with some vigorous debate and notable disagreements, years ago... maybe 2015? It was well before the Pro upgrade era. I'm sure you will find those threads, but they may not give you any solid answers. @David A has covered some of the same thoughts about how hearing tends to work at various volumes. Short of a low-volume contour / bass boost command, I think it is just the way things tend to sound, regardless of amplifier. That is, assuming no added bass bump from amp or speakers that is designed in for any particular product.
