hi all, so at the level of the enthusiasts that have been posting in this engaging thread, a variety of approaches will work beautifully. I love quiet listening on a system that wouldn't seem to lend itself to it: inefficient speakers paired with a robust solid state integrated. Fortunately, my Accuphase E-470 not only has nice tone controls and a loudness circuit, it also has an exquisitely engineered volume control. My ATC 40's respond with their usual vibrancy even when a certain light-sleeping spouse is sleeping essentially right above the main listening room. ~oran
Low volume listening dynamics
Hey all, question: I listen to music at a relatively low volume, but I still want the clarity to hear the details. So, will a high sensitivity speaker/driver (95 and above) give me more detail at lower volume than a less sensitive speaker? Or am I on the track in my logic (not the first time)? Or are my ears getting old? Thanks all!
