BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS

I admired the Dahlquist DQ30i speakers in the early nineties. I bought a mint pair one year ago as the price was too good to ignore. ($800.00) I only have them on my television setup that includes a Sony video receiver. I have had numerous high end speakers on this system. None have sounded as good as the Dahlquists. Even at moderate volume there is respectable bass response, I need help at this point in time to move them to my main system. They could be "end system speakers", they are that good. Keep your eyes open for a used pair. They won't disappoint! Joe

I'll second the Devore O/96 suggestion made by an earlier poster. High sensitivity, so easily driveable, gorgeous visually and sonically (IMO). And, oh yes, sound lovely at low volumes as well. If there is a dealer within reach, might want to give them a listen.

Your Bryston is a fabulous piece btw. Although currently running a Pass integrated, I've had several different Bryston amps & preamps over the years and can't speak highly enough of the company. The 4B3 might possibly be a little overpowered for O/96s however, depending on how much you value being able to use the volume knob past the '9 o'clock' position :-)  But the 4B3 would likely sound superb with Devores. I still had my last Bryston amp at the time I purchased my own O/93s and the match was lovely. I did, however, end up with a Pass INT-25 during a conversion from full separates to an integrated amp.

Good luck in your endeavor!

One of Devore’s Orangutan series might fit the bill. I sat down to listen to I think the O93 version at my local audio store and was impressed. Very lively and a nice overall sound. 

Børresen speakers have an inherent response that compensates for the Munson/EL curve.

Klipsch Heresys are also pretty good for such dilemmas, but they lack some refinement relative to others, and require tube amps to sound best.

Another good option might be a powered speaker with onboard DSP such as the KEF LS50W or LS60, which will mostly allow you to tune the response to taste, without the drawbacks you get from conventional analog tone controls.

Audiogon folks can reccomended a lot very good speakers , but only one problem you must listen all this speakers not just for short time as at Audio Show , I can recomended my brand , show room located in brooklyn not far from you, or i can bring the speakers to you just to listen .
