Totem Forrest speakers are good at low volumes. Many inefficient speakers are good at low volumes.
Recommendations for floor standers that sound good at low levels too
Hi all, hope everyone is doing well these days. I'm thinking of getting some smallish floor standers and want to get any and all feedback regarding speakers that sound good at lower listening levels. What I mean by good is that they still convey dynamics, smooth mids and highs and decent bass. I've been considering Some of the smaller Tekton designs such as the Lore, Uruz or compact Enzo. I tried Zu DW and found them to be too bright for my room and amp.
I listen to Classical and jazz the most followed by rock, reggae and pop. I have a 16 x 20 fairly open and lively listening area and sometimes like to listen softly while dining or sitting close by. Are high sensitivity speakers more likely to still sound good at quieter levels? BTW, speakers with horn tweeters are out, as they sound irritating to me. I usually prefer soft dome tweets, but have heard some metal ones that also sound smooth. I use a 40w PrimaLuna or a Hegel 80w depending how hot I want the room to get. LOL. Budget $2000 or less. Thanks for your feedback.
