Dynamics at lower volumes?

I noticed that my Aerial 9's are able to sound great at low to moderate sound levels. Some speakers sound much better at higher volumes. Maybe it is the array that features a larger number of medium size drivers.

1) Horns
2) Revel Ultima Salon 2's

Yes!! a hard answer to find.
I listen exclusively at lower volumes.
i bought a pair og Maggie 3.6 (which so many say you have to play LOUD to sound good) the thing is Maggies have a good low level playing ability.
With the Bryston stuff i have i am happy. I have a Audio Research pre (the SP-15) problem with that pre is it does rally sound better at 3/4 volume control on up. ctually using a passive pre vol to LOWER the level going into the AR made everything so much more alive at lower SPLs.
The word is the PRIME speaker for lower SPL playing Quads.

Elizabeth. You are gain matching. Try using the passive after the preamp instead of before.
