HeresysIII at low Volume

Henrycai, It all depends on the size of your listening room and how far you sit from the speakers. I use the P3ESR(sensitivity a low 82 DB) with 50 watt tube amps with no problem. My room size is 20x15. I have used larger floor standing Spendors with no problem. I have used big solid state amps in the past and I think power is way overated. BTW, what is the size of your room?

If you dampen the mid horn, (and, dampen the tweeter horn), the benefit of louder listening will be improved. The entire front baffle becomes less resonant. Listening improves at lower volume as well. MrD.

I will have to agree about the Heresy III's at low volumes. I own Heresys and Heresy II's and both sound great a lower volumes. IMO, both are not too picky about amp matching as I have used many different integrateds, seperates, and receivers with both pairs with great results.
