Small monitors good at low listening levels?

As you have a couple of floor standers on your list I'm recommending Meadowlark Audio Kestrel Hot Rods. They don't come up here as often as they used to but are wonderful speakers at low volume. I also owned the VR-1s and thought they were pretty good at low levels but the Kestrels beat them easily and don't take up any more than VR-1s on stands.

I third the Green Mountain Audio line. I was impressed by how full range they were at even very low volumes. Can't go wrong here.

With the same goals in a small room at nearfield I really like my Reference 3a Di Capo i's . They are , however , best with tubes . A very nice speaker .

Coincident Triumph UHS speakers work great at low volumes.

Merlin TSM-MM, don't miss a chance to listen to their huge stage, amazing detail and excellent transients. I get complements from casual listeners all the time when driven with a SimAudio I-5.
