Best Monitor speaker - low volume level listening

This is also a function of the amp. But the Penaudio speakers will play just as well at high or low volumes. Silverline SR 17 will also but need a really massive stand to sound their best.

My Harmonic Precision Caravelles play beautifully at low volumes. Especially compared to the Revel M20s, I use to own. I do not have experience with other monitors at low volumes, but I can certainly say that my preferences listening to music at this later stage in my audiophoolish life (use to listen at ear bleed levels as a young audiophool) lean toward soft listening. I'm a big jazz man, and I find the Caravelles, top to bottom, articulate, tight, sweet on top, and as full as you can be, in the midrange, at low volumes. These speakers must use their dedicated stands to sound their best. They are pricey, with their dedicated stands, but they deliver in such an incredibly big way, that the $$ seem quite reasonable given the quality of sound. peace, warren

listen to the totem mani-2's. they need a powerfull amp and good stands but sound very nice at any volume if you have the right equipment.
