Full detailed sound at 30 - 40 - 50 dB


I love the nuance you can hear when listening to music at loud volumes, but unless no one is home, it’s not considerate or feasible to listen at such high volumes. Plus I just had a baby so everyone is always home and volume levels are limited to 40ish dBs. 

Any recommendations for getting the most detail at these volumes? Additional gear or recommended integrated amps?

My NAD 7175PE has a loudness button which boosts the treble and bass a little, and that certainly helps things in the Kitchen. 

My living room amp is a Rega Brio-R which doesn’t have any tone controls. 

Any thoughts? Thanks!

For sure tubes are FAR better at low level resolution than any SS .
 Only you know what loud is to you .Atmasphere is the THE tube expert on
here but from the maybe 6 tube amps and 30 SS amps I've owned I would say a tube amp with GOOD transformers putting out 30 watts is at least equal to a 100 watt SS .
