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!

30,40, and 50db are pretty quiet. I bet many listening rooms have at 30db of background noise before music has started playing.  I listen at pretty low levels and it wasn’t until I got a tube based high efficiency setup before I could truly enjoy music at lower listening levels.  It made a world of difference.
