Loudness control, how about that! How quickly we forget they ever existed. Good for Schiit, and good for efficient speakers. Still, aren't we hypothesizing near-field listening and a low noise floor? Because if I want to hear from any distance or at any tangent, the amp needs to crank well above its Class A threshold, equalizers notwithstanding.
Which Component Has the Greatest Affect on Low-Level Listening
I'm looking to get out of HT 5.1 and go strictly to 2 ch. I generally have music playing all day, often just sitting done to listen to certain tracks.
I've read that "some" speakers don't sound "good" until high listening level, and also an integrated such the Luxman 505 don't sound good at low levels (is that the reason they include loudness?).
Which component, the amp or speaker, has the greatest impact on low level listening quality?
