Nor speakers, nor amplifier...
Listening at low volumes with all details, imaging and dynamic first is related to the room, even in near listening, if you are in a small room....
My experience is this with my room....
My experience is not the negation of the importance of speakers and amplifier at all.... But the main factors are, if the gear is relatively good to begins with, will be the room acoustic, and the noise floor of the house and the uncontrolled speakers vibrations...
Audio is NOT synonymus first with electronic design, contrary to what most sellers affirm, but with acoustic controls and others controls dimensions first, in most cases if not almost all....
The room is then the main component to understand low level listening....
Not the loudness buttton.... 😁
