I would consider a biamped monitor/sub type system. This way you can turn up the sub for fullness at low to mid volumes. I used to have my setup this way, with a remote controlled amp feeding the subs. It was great to be able to tailor the bass per recording and for the desired volume. Even if not fully natural, expanding the bottom octaves really increases the sense of acoustic space.
Low volume kind to low frequency?
Hi all.
I am interested in buying some Magnepan 20.1 speakers. They go down to 25 Hz, which is fine, but not great. Spatial cues, pipe organs.
I tend not to listen to music at outrageously loud volumes. Is the main factor with the bottom end of the frequency specification moving a lot of air? Does the fact that at medium volumes, not as much air has to be moved, matter?
Can I listen to my pipe organ at a volume that doesn't tenderize meat?
Regards,
Rick
