But WHY multi-way ?

If we make the equal loudness correction based on the SPL at the listening position, then it will apply equal loudness correction during the loud parts of the music when no or much less correction should be applied. This is why equal loudness correction is difficult to implement well. The solution requires knowing the reference volume, like on all movie soundtracks. However, there is no such thing as a reference volume for music (which unfortunately led to the loudness war), and it would require a completely new audio format, which isn't happening.

JRiver has a loudness function. You can set a reference level at a calibrated SPL and at anything above or below this level the function is engaged based on where you set the volume slider.

This works in conjunction with R128 volume levelling so the difference is based on a given average level and not changing due to track dynamics. I haven't used it yet but the way it works gets round most of the issues you raise above.

I do use the volume levelling function and that works very well to even out perceived volume between tracks. The downside is that it needs to analyse your whole music collection to work properly and that that does take a long time, the data can be written into tags so it only needs to be done once.

HiFi listening was so much easier in 70s and 80s when we were allowed to touch tone controls of the amplifier.Some hardcore men even bought equalizers and adjusted them just by listening!

Computers and audio measurement prgrams have spoiled the fun of hifi!
