Monitor SPL vs. Full-Range SPL


I see threads where people ask "How loud do you listen?" Wouldn't there be a difference in SPL if your speakers have more bass?
So 80db for a monitor flat to 55 hz could be equal to 85-90dB in a full range speaker which is flat to 20hz. If a speaker is very bright, I would think that could be 75dB SPL for equal perceived volume level.
Any thoughts?

I'll add only this, as freq's go down, you won't hear them as louder...probably, you won't hear them at all.

Deep bass is felt more than heard.
