Good Low Level Resolution Speakers under $2K used.

Dear Audiophiles:

I don't get to listen to my stereo sitting right at the sweet spot and turning the system to a reasonable loud level all the time. Though, I know that that is when the system sounds best. I spent a lot fo time on my computer which is located at the rear corner of the room and have the system on for background music, reasonable soft. I doesn't sounds good at all. Do you think it is the problem with my speakers? Are there any speakers (<$2K used) which are less sensitive to placement and have better resolution at low level? Any suggestion is welcome, below is my system setup

Sony XA7ES CD player.
Cardas Hexlink Golden 5 Interconnect
YBA Integre DT Integrated Amp
Cardas Quadlink 5C speaker cables
Thiel CS1.5 speakers

Thanks in advance for the suggestions

Try the Rotel RC 1070 preamp with its nifty contour control. It makes low level listening a joy.

I have a pair of Proac Tablettes in my office system that sound excellent at lower volumes driven by a Pathos Classic v2. Wonderful combo

I listen to my Coincident Super Eclipse speakers driven by 300B SETs in an apartment. It sounds luscious, full and positively entrancing at the lowish levels I play it at. $2k won't get a pair of SEs used, but Partial Eclipse are a possibility.
