Hifi in a flat

[fatmarley]

I'd be looking for hifi that sounds good at low volume (assuming what you've got doesn't). For example smaller ATC speakers are known for sounding a bit flat and uninvolving at low volumes. Where as the bigger Tannoy dc speakers are the opposite.

When I used to own Tannoy system 10 monitors, one of the first things that surprised me was how I could enjoy them at whisper quiet volumes, where my much smaller Linn kan mk2 would sound dull at the same volume.

I've heard people say that some amps sound better than others at low volumes too.

I have always found in previous properties that the bass from my speakers radiates backwards and through the walls immediately behind. I have therefore had problems locating the speakers so that they are not rearward against the neighbours wall. Bloody nuisance really.
