RE: Easy Question
yes, it could be your amp & speakers is just not up to it... but generaly this is a problem with mixing ALWAYS at low volume - it's best to burn something at high volume for a minute to get to hear it loud, then drop down to nearfield monitors, take a break, come back and resume structural work.. but yes the top, mid's and bass end always could do with a check at high volume tho
If it sounds abrasive, another reason is, that at low listening volume you might be pushing stuff up in terms of 'prescense' - and this doesnt translate well at loud volume - Like say at low volume one will over-emphasise the midrange around 4-6k to add clarity, but at loud volume this then sounds abrasive....
check all your gains are not overloading (on material/channels where over-gain is NOT required, and mebbe knock those down a tad?...
also, are you mebbe overloading FX aux sends?...
