Undoubtedly. They have some real weight to the bottom end when cranked. They are good at low listening volumes, but really do wake up when they're a bit louder. I tend to do most of my listening at 55-60dbs from my listening position because I'm in an apartment. If I crank turn go up to about 65, they sound really alive.
There are lots of reviews out there that I feel sum them up really well. Once you've bought quality stands, its much of muchness cost wise anyway. I'd buy the tower's over the bookshelves, but I'm obviously biased.
Oh - they really don't like poor recordings. Like at all.
Have you considered some inline attenuators twixt source and amp? Then you could pump up the volume but still be listening at neighbour-friendly levels
