I might concede that those models might be easier to listen to at lower levels. I did hear some Soundlab Dynstats at low levels and they did have more detail than my Maggies. However my Maggies are good enough at those low levels that I can easily live with them. Once the volume goes up my Maggies creamed them. As a matter of fact I have found that the Maggies beat out all the speakers you mention when the volume reaches "around the house talking" level in that they do more right than the other speakers in more categories. The Apogees have that overly fat bass and that inability to give holographic real world imaging. They can give spectacular but not necessarily a real world effect [In recording for my church I have come to really respect the 3.6 for all they do so right]. Most of the electrostatics can't play real world soul with all the required power and dynamics. I did enjoy the Acoustat 1+1 playing Tina Turner's Private Dancer album. The newer Acoustats gave nice instrument colors but don't relly give a realistic holographic stage.
All I ask for with the low level resolution thing is that it sounds very good. Even Bose speaker can sound good at real low levels but can't compete when any amount of volume comes into play. The thing with Maggies the better the setup including room the better the low level resolution and then also the better the higher level resolution.
