I always liked my Spica TC-50's with my Music Fidelity A-1 (the original) playing the classical radio station out of NYC on low volume, used to just leave it on all night..
Harbeth. You will get a lot of midrange and full sound even at low to moderate volume levels unlike most speakers which only come to life when played at above moderate volumes.
My feeling is that this is best achieved by reasonably efficienct speakers and low wattage amps. I have Coincident Super Eclipse (94db/w/m) and 300B-based SETs and listen a lot at low volumes - I'm an apartment dweller.
Obviously you have to avoid speakers that take a bit of welly to get up and go.
