Zuio, It is not likely you will assemble a system with dynamics, body, presents and the lively sound you are looking for at low volume. All systems have a volume level where they excel, however, it is not at low volume.
low volume, microdynamics,body,presence, 10k used.
Looking for speaker options for a mid sized room, preferred listening levels at 70 to 90db, ss amps only (Ncore or Hegel)
60hz to 15khz is sufficient for me, but the midbass must have proper weight, and the clarity must remain clear with demanding music ie orchestra or big band.(So no 2-way speakers?). Rock solid timing (microdynamics, impulse response, transients, prat),body, presence and inner detail is essential to me.
Equally important is that the bass driver matches the exact speed of the mid driver to get good coherence in timing. No mtm configurations as they don't get the imaging right imo.
I liked the Wilson Sophia for its dynamics & bass but it could be a bit faster, I liked the ATC scm 50 asl for the definition and wide dispersion of the mid, but the bass is a bit thin and the speaker only comes to life at higher levels. Didn't like gallo 3.1 for its tweeter and driver integration, don't like ringradiator tweeters,don't like panels. Didn't like Ceramic driver based speakers - even with tubes (no weight, no inner detail)
So I am looking for a wide dispersion speaker with great midbass and speed that comes to life at low levels and delivers fullness, texture and presence with the limitation of ss amps only. A Wilson Sophia mini would be great. What would you recommend?
