Loud music sounds soft,not LOUD

[muljao]

Why do you feel the need to use these attentuators?

Edit re read and they are from computer, i thought cd player.

In a way i do agree with blacksabbath25. I know you are limited with space but your speakers are budget (as are mine) but i don't think you will ever be satisfied until you get something with more soundstage/kick.Are you are on the third set of relative respected but small speakers​ in the last year that i can remember, but your amp could drive much more powerful ones.

Have you any way to move things around and maybe save and get more substantial speakers, it is likely that this is the only way you'll get the sound quality you desire

In the specs 86.5dB sensitivity (1w @ 1m), 6 Ohms nominal. That would be something like 85db at 8 ohms 1w@1m. They are inefficient and smooth (no audible breakup and resonances).

Have seen the emit 20 rated at 86 db only having according to a german magazine 83.3 db and a pair of Klipsch RB-15 only having a sensitivity of 90 db although rated at 93 db (stereophile)

They are rated between 6 and down to 4.4 ohm as the lowest

Never hear distortion unless it's some cray bad a.. recording on youtube or metallica,bruno mars... so i don't playing to loud (no amp distortion)

It's all good. They are just low efficiency like most small speakers.

My Q acoustics 3020 sounded louder

They are 88db.

I sense another speaker upgrade approaching

Me too. The amp has adequate power.....

I bought a Bruno Mars album, can't even remember which one. One of the worse compressed and thin sounding. Horrible.

My system sounds far better at higher volume. Even cleaner and richer. I think all good systems do. ☺smiles

3 db i twice as loud and most people perceive 10 db as twice as loud

I'd be very surprised if they are.

Me too, but I'm guessing they have ~3db more efficiency than the LX-2s, which would explain why they went louder for the OP.
