Yeah, I am definitely a quiet listener. I just automatically turn down the volume at shows now, as 90% of the time, it is cranked too high for me. Same with the speaker rooms, too. A bunch of deaf dudes listening so loud, I question if they can even tell speakers apart anymore.
I use the Decibel iPhone app and shoot for around 75 dB average SPL. Sometimes when I demo new gear, especially speakers, I listen at 85-90 dB+ SPL from maybe 10ft away because I don't want to miss any undesirable sound traits that are masked at lower volumes.
If you're a soft listener, a Focal Clear is for you. Soft listeners don't have to deal with drivers banging around. Poor loud listeners. Maybe you you can buy one off a loud listener for pennies on the dollar because they think its shit...
