LS6 for low volume listening?
« on: 25 Mar 2008, 08:25 pm »
Looking for some of those lucky ones who have already bought / built the LS6's to give some opinions on how these do with lower volume listening?  I'm still an apartment-dweller and will have quite a few occasions that I will be listening well under reference-level.  I'm especially looking for impressions on how (if at all) dynamics would change.  Also what about the overall body of the sound - will some nice acoustic bass jazz still have a nice round bottom end? 

For reference, this would be in a slightly smaller room (13 X 22 X 8)...but that opens into hallways and other rooms...so I'm not worried about overloading the airspace.  Thanks.

Hmm...was it just a silly question?  I mean, I know the LS6's are supposed to be pretty freakin' amazing...but they are also quite a chunk of change.  Just hoping to hear someone tell me they do EVERYTHING well.

Sorry for the delay in responding.

They are great for low level listening as well.

The high impedance load makes them pretty easy to drive too.
