Low level listening


I enjoy listening to music at lower levels. Is buying a speaker with a low sensitivity rating the answer? Or is that the most economic answer? In short what I am asking is.....Can a speaker with a low sensitvity rating with more power actually be better for low level listening (although maybe not the most economic choice). What is the best setup for this?

Usually a high efficiency speaker design is better for low volume listening... so pretty much the opposite of what you're thinking. You want speakers with light cones and large motors that can react more readily to track the music signal. That way, less detail is lost to inertia.
Agreed. I do a lot of listening at low levels (apartment dweller) and I like medium-high efficiency speakers (94db) with single-ended triodes.

Regards,
electrostats are low sensitivity (quads are exceptions) and has superb low resolution.
