Situation:
Florida Condo ground unit – walls ceiling poured concrete - neighbors sides and above virtually deaf – how fortunate – none the less, I can blast and no one hears because of construction.
I like (not loud music) unless wanting a full organ.
Low volume is superior – BUT am using a set of Magneplan inner and outside a set of ProAc towers tuned using a tube amp driven for low volume via a Pioneer SS ancient recapped Spec1 pre amp (rather than my tube preamp) with matching Pioneer crossover and equalizer units, separate low end isolation feed for the sub, am able to adjust sound to my personal liking that is both rich in base and superb in the middle and high range. Not likely possible without tinkering with the crossover and equalizer. Perhaps a kluge solution but works for me.

PS still tinkering with my additional 1980’s Enigma sub woofer – the four 15 inch drivers are being inspected having recently recapped and restored the Hafler 909 amp and crossover. More on that as we progress -- I miss my tie fluttering behind me in the sonic wave sitting in front of the 4x4 foot dipole.
