i hear ya.
and no, "loud" is not important to me but i will explain:

after mixing ITB for about two years i finally got myself an API 8200A, i love that thing, great sound, etc...
the problem is that the output from the xlr's is kinda low, so i called API and spoke to an engineer there.
nice guy, i learned a lot, and to make a long story short he said that basically what i'm getting out of the 8200 is it, i should look into a 2 buss compressor/limiter.

hence this thread.

the L2 certainly raises the voulme of the stereo mix but, to my humble ears, is harsh.
i would like to think that the overall mix is good, what i started doing is re-mixing with the L2 on the chain, even tracking with it sometimes.
