Low volume listening isn't necessarily compatible with higher level listening as a design conundrum exists…Fletcher Munson et al...powered subs ("fast" bass is a term I find meaningless) can help if low level listening is what you want…you can turn the relative level up…who knew? Horns at low level better be pointed at your head, but I still think any speaker that somehow exceeds at boosting the frequencies that otherwise drop off at low levels can over boost those frequencies when you turn stuff up. Get an equalizer maybe as at low levels you don't get proper musicality anyway, so who cares if it adds crap?
