best overall speakers at low volume?


Many reviews go on about how loud you can crank 'XYZ' speaker, but I listen at lower levels, appreciating the imaging, fullness of sound across the spectrum, dynamic range, shared sense of space, etc.

Anyone out there with suggestions?

I have vinyl and tube gear only. Price not relevant to this particular discussion, but later I will have to sort out the list based on my budget. Thanks for your thoughts!

I would also agree with the above responses but weight the speakers a little higher in their contribution to this. I have recently heard the Wilson Sophia 3 in Tampa at AV South being driven by Ayre integrated and DAC and Computer front end. Don't know how much each piece was contributing to the sound but it was amongst the best I ever heard at low levels while still having amazing detail, clarity and dynamics. I've heard Wilsons in many setups, but this was best I've heard them. all this at a level that would easily allow conversation with someone in the room. Also, the system as a whole-while not exactly chump change would not break the bank either for the quality it delivered. Just a thought....
