Advice from apartment dwellers


Looking for speaker /amp / acoustic treatment recommendations and insights for listening at lower volumes in an NYC apartment. I listen mostly to jazz, classical, and world music, with an occasional foray into rock. Sources are a Scillia-modded AR turntable and an Oppo 105. Not really interested in headfi.

Any insights appreciated ~ thanks!

I have the same issues as you. I would go for a pair of Harbeth SHL5s and perhaps an integrated with tone controls like Marantz or Cambridge, assuming that's high-end enough for you. You might also want to mount the speakers closer to the floor like on the Mapleshade stands, which will naturally reinforce the low end.
