My Graham’s 5/9 sound glorious on low volume driven by a 30w class A Belles.
What makes a speaker sound great at low volume?
Most of the time I hear music at a low volume (wifey, apartment, ....).
I am looking to upgrade my current speakers, but in my market scanning I would like to understand, if there are certain “metrics” to look for, before I start going to stores for listening.
Any advice?

Its actually the ear’s that work less well at low volumes with extreme hi and low frequencies in particular. https://ehomerecordingstudio.com/fletcher-munson-curve/ Tone and loudness controls used to be provided in a lot of gear to make the needed adjustment for low volume. Brighter speakers and/or speakers with tipped up bass inherently sound better at low volumes. Also speakers with adjustable powered subwoofers. |
