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.
I was going to ask people's listening volumes. I'm in a terrace, with a shared wall with a neighbour. 70db sounds really nice to me, however, I'm conscious my neighbour might not appreciate that. Am I worrying unnecessarily, alternatively, is there any reasonably priced treatments I can put on the wall to mitigate that? I tend to use headphones post 10pm.

I'm in an apartment with someone directly above me and also someone on the right of me. Thankfully nobody underneath. But this is a mid-century Californian apartment built out of wood and not much else. No brick and barely any, if any, insulation to keep noise inside. Fortunately, when I walk past my neighbors front door his music is BLASTING, whereas in my apartment I can't really hear it that much. I've had no noise complaints in a year+, so I can only assume I am being fair.

Stick to cans after 10 unless you have a reciprocal arrangement with your neighbours.
