I use loudness on the lower volumes and in my opinion it sounds better and I don't care what "audiophiles" say. On higher volumes I prefer to turn it off because it makes the bass a bit boomy and the high tones a bit sharp.
A decent Loudness control should switch off at higher volumes. Which system do you have?
I've got a BC9500, but it's actually the room acoustics that makes the bass a bit boomy at higher volumes
I remember everyone discussing this last year and at the time almost everyone said that they turned the 'Loudness' on...and infact B & O recommended that you left it on all the time and so we were wondering why then did they bother giving you the option of on or off?
I have a BV-7 32 which i use to play our music through too...connected to Lab 3s, Lab 4s and a Lab 2...and i will do some experiments with the 'Loudness' turned on and off!
Soundproof, my room is medium - small sized with minimal materials to absorb the sound (leather couch, wooden floorboards, wooden blinds etc.)
My BS 4 arrived with loudness set to on, and when i toggle it on/off at higher volumes, it doesn't seem to make an audible difference, so there ya go, it does vary with the volume (on the BS 4 anyway).
