Regarding the question "Can you name any speaker which truly shows its
stuff at low volume?" and the discussion about Magnepans I'd like to add
this. For the range covered by the ribbon tweeter, the Maggies do a
great job at low volumes. Once you get into the panel (the lower
frequencies) they do sound better at higher volume. I think, however,
that it's a combination effect of the Fletcher-Munson curves and the
panels rather than totally peculiar to the Maggies.
