Hi!
I use the KPA at home with a pair of Behringer B2031A monitors, and I find the sound perfectly
enjoyable.
My neighbour upstairs is a charming old lady (well, my age, actually), and from times to times,
at night, she is hitting her floor (which is my ceiling, if you are following well my story). At first I
thought she was trying to indicate the correct tempo, but after discussing with her, it was just that
she thought I was playing too loud -- how stupid was I.
Of course, I now turn down the master volume as the clock approaches midnight, and my neighbour
is happy. However, while the sound I get is excellent when the master volume is at 5.0 or 6.0, it
becomes quite flat with a master volume set to 0.2 or 0.3 -- which is, as you know, due to the fact
that the human ear's sensitivity changes at very low volume levels. So, each time I need to take a few
minutes to tweek the main output EQ to "improve" my sound.
Now, 40 years ago, I had on my hi-fi systems a switch (loudness, or contour), that tried to compensate
for this phenomenon by increasing the bass and treble volume, and this was much better than nothing.
Unfortunately, there is rarely such a thing in modern Hi-Fi equipments, and I often think this
feature is sorely lacking.
So my request is : could we have such a knob in the output section ? You could set this feature "on"
or "off" ; and you could set the lower level at which it has no effect (like a master volume at 5.0 in
my case), and of course the effect would increase as you turn down the main volume -- or the master
volume when both are not linked.
I understand that this is not of a vital importance, but I think this could be a very welcome improvement
for all us players in their room...
Best regards.
Jean-Jacques.
