Quad 12L at low volume


Hello,
I'm interested in the quads 12L (could be active or passive), but I have the constraint of listening mostly at low volume.

How do the quads sound at low volume? Are they good from the lower volumes or do they have to be pushed to sing?
Is there a difference between the active and the passive versions in this respect.

Thanks a lot

The actives sound great at low volume. I listen to Pandora.com through my computer and Hagerman USB DAC straight into the actives. When I'm sitting at the computer I have the volume down quite a bit.

Compared to my 22l/909 amp combination, the 12L actives are more detailed and analytical sounding, which makes them good at low volumes IMO. Of course if you crank 'em up they sound good as well!
