Proac One SC - Do thet perform well at low volume?
Something else to think about...Doesn't the amp play a role in low volume performance ?Something like PP amps usually sound better turned up just a bit where as SET amps do best when barely turned up (that 1st watt thing for SET's) .Anybody ? 
JM Labs Electra 926 vs 936
I used to own the 926's and thought as you do . So I tried out the 936's .The difference was barely discernible . Not worth the trouble , for me .
