Best Late Night Low Volume Speaker

Hey Audiofeil, you are always so careful not to mention products that you carry in order to avoid any appearance of shilling but The Audio Note AN-E speakers are pretty hard to beat with a nice tube setup. I have had several pair of Harbeths in my room and sound very nice but, in my opinion, require a little volume to feel alive. I'm not bashing Harbeth, love em. My pick is the Audio Note speaker.

Massive hi-eff horns systems I can adjust these to sound full and loud at listening position without bothering others.

I have only owned around 6 different high end speakers but the Verity Audio Parsifal Encores which I got a few weeks ago are by far the best for your late night "application". I have the precise same need, since my private listening time is 11pm - 1am when the whole house is asleep. I use 200wpc class a poweramps to drive them.

I just got the newest set of TSM-Xmr speakers and I don't believe I've ever heard a speaker sound this good at lower volumes. Many years ago I owned a set of Royd speakers which had some of this ability, but these are even better.
