Small-ish Speakers That Come Alive At Low Volume

domestic situation requires a smallish (monitor or bookshelf) speaker with most listening being done at low to moderate levels.

hoping to hear some recommendations for speakers that aren't too large and don't need to be played loud to really come alive.

preamp is Aesthetix Calypso; amp is Spectron Musician 3 mk2

many thanks,
Scott

Hmm, those De Capos are interesting, 92db efficient and 9 ohm.

Apparently a bit pricier but very interesting at least on paper.

With a good sub to blend, the very small, front ported Triangle Titus XS if you find a pair used (<$500) could be just the ticket.

Cheers!

Many Triangle's starting with the tiny Titus XS are exceptional in this area.

Frankly, I would expect most speakers to do very well at all volumes with an amp like that, but the Triangles are exceptional in this area if that is what you are looking for.
