Selecting Speaker For Low Volumes??
#1
Hi everyone!  I'm interested in hear what opinions about what speakers work best for using Power Scaling and playing at low volumes.  I've had mixed success selecting speakers for this task.  I find that many speakers seem to have "minimum volume" needed to get them to start sound like themselves. It isn't too loud for stage but too much for practicing alone.   Some speakers especially the Celestion speakers I've tried sound sluggish at low volumes.  I've had more success with mid powered American voiced speaker like vintage C12Ns but of course that speaker doesn't work for all styles or amps.  What speakers do you guys have success with when using power scaled amps at lower volumes?  Are there certain specs I should be selecting for?  Any insight would be helpful!  Thanks!
