I like my reasoning better then the "getting run over by car" reasoning.
Haha, didn't notice Confispect's "the higher you push then you get toward their true excellence" comment till I read your quote.
I don't know about you, but I kind of hope my listening source is as "excellent" at quiet levels as it is at louder levels.
Small note about human psychoacoustics, we perceive loudness as sound quality. This is well known by marketing and salesmen. It's not even specific to hearing but sight, taste, etc. It's why a store/salesman can up the colors and brightness on a particular big screen TV to promote sales or why a little extra pepper and spice makes that mediocre meal taste better. More sensation equates to better quality. However, it shouldn't
need to get loud to sound "excellent." It should sound excellent at very quiet levels too.
Back to EQing, it's important to understand that we do vary in frequency response sensitivity as volume levels change, just the nature of the mechanics of our ears. When EQing, it is advisable to do it at volume levels you will normally listen at. That way it will be the most correct at the levels you commonly play.
