I would look for a pair of efficient speakers. Something like 94db or higher. Higher sensitivity speakers will sound more articulate at lower volume than lower sensitivity speakers.
Low level listening
I am interested in everybody's thoughts on speakers on low level listening. Currently I have Tekton Lore's. They are the upgraded model and I like them, but they open to most of the time at a higher volume then I'm comfortable with. Smart me had to much fun listening to live music. " tinnitus". I have ordered Magnapan LRS+ which I auditioned at my home which seemed more articulate at lower volumes. Any other ideas would be appreciated. Speakers or cures ? Just kidding about cures.

@stereo5 What is the correct answer on this? If you have good watts and enough of them, I think enough watts to drive lower efficiency speakers would sound better at lower volume or at least possible tie with low watts - high efficiency, right? I think I will start a thread called Variables. |
DBob, I have the same issue and also have the LRS+ on order. Elusive as the solution may be I think you are on the right track. Higher efficiency speakers are a common suggestion. I had some Altec Horn speakers which were probably the best low volume speaker I have owned. Let's hope the LRS+ is an even better solution!!
