I think the problem is with the speakers you're using and not the level at which they operate. That is, you probably have fairly accurate monitors that allow you to get a good sound in the studio. But when you play back the mixes on consumer level stuff, which is very inacurate, small nuances start to show up that in technical terms, goofs it all up. Most consumer speaker systems have a boost in the 100-250Hz range and drops off like a rock below 80Hz. Along with that, there is usually a spike in the 8000Hz range and the signal drops off above 16Khz or so. In betwee those deliberately added boosts (to artificially make up for the loss of extreme highs & lows) there are several peaks & valleys in the response of the speakers that also interfere with the natural tone of the music.
To fix this problem, try patching a boom box into your system as well as professional and consumer level headphones when you're mixing. This way, you can adjust sound to get a good sound on all the different systems.
