“I found some low sensitivity speakers(80 to 86dB)sounds much better at higher volume. Is this their inborn characteristic?”

"I found some low sensitivity speakers(80 to 86dB)sounds much better at higher volume. It seems to be a threshold volume for this type of speakers to sound right. At low volume, the tonal balance is usually no good. Examples are ATC passive monitors and my pioneer S-A4SPT-PM. Higher sensitivity speakers such as proac, elac and many full-range one sound right even at low volume. Is this their inborn characteristic?"
