Magnepan MMG for low volume


I am considering the Magnepan MMG. I have to listen on low volume often and have read that they do not perform well at low volume levels. I would be grateful for any input that can be offered. Are they a good choice? Would Vandersteens or traditional cabinet speakers perform better at low volume levels. I primarily listen to jazz, blues and classical. Thanks so much.

In a VERY quiet space Maggies have plenty of detail at low levels. And I mean pin-drop quiet. So quiet that with the front door open, a cricket in the hedge outside is pretty loud.
Not as much bass, perhaps, as you'd like, but don't forget the ear gets less and less sensitive to bass as levels drop.
