Actually, the problem of legibility of these icons on the BQ is rather due to the low screen resolution and the fact we use scalable icons instead of pixel-perfect icons specifically designed for this size.
Regarding your proposal, I have spoken with the visual design team and we are not keen to remove to arches when the volume is low, because the speaker alone would look very unbalanced compared to the other indicators and the spacing between the volume and the battery indicator would be too big.
However, for more clarity, we will updated the 'volume zero' indicator to a white speaker with a cross (instead of the actual speaker with arches in 50% opacity).

Title:
  Speaker icons differences too small

Status in ubuntu-themes package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The icon theme got a nice update that made them all much lighter (as
  in weight), but also resulted in some of them being less readable,
  especially in a bright environment (aka. very often when you use a
  phone outside).

  See the attached image that's a combination of high volume, low volume
  and muted. The stroke through the muted speaker is very light, almost
  a one-pixel stroke on the Aquaris E4.5 phone, where the icons are
  displayed at 26x26 pixels. The volume indication (the two arches on
  the right of the speaker) seems unnecessary when muted, too, and just
  add confusion.

  In the low-volume case the arches seem equally unnecessary, since
  apart from spotting the arches you need to compare their colour to see
  "how much" of the indication is active vs. not. Could we not lose the
  inactive arches altogether?
