Low Volume Listening?

[Axel]

Hope this hasn’t been covered in depth before, but I am currently looking to do a speaker upgrade and hope to find a SAM-ready set of speakers that perform exceptionally well at low volumes.  I am currently running B&W 707s2 and run them at -30dB or lower quite often.  While I’d like the best of both worlds, my condo association hasn’t been happy with me recently, and my neighbor is convinced I’m using a sub. The Expert 140 Pro combo is pleasant, but I am open to suggestions.  Thanks!

The Elac FS 407.2 performs superbly at low levels. I recently auditioned a pair and am considering replacing my Sonus Faber Olympica 2s with them.

Did you audition the bookshelf model as well?  You have me digging.  Hoping they’re SAMed!

No, I didn’t audition the standmount models as I want floorstanders. The FS 407 and 409 are SAMed, but the .2 versions aren’t. I used the 407 SAM profile when I auditioned the 407.2 and it seemed to work fine, but I usually turn SAM off when I’m listening.
Give the Elacs a try. I think you’ll like them.
