Audiogon member suggestions for a speaker that sounds good at low volume!!!

I listened for years (at low and mid volume) to a Classe amp mated with Von Schweikert VR1 monitors (with upgraded internal wiring) and a Velodyne subwoofer (with remote control.) The sub was used primarily to enhance spatial imaging and secondarily to augment bass. A sub is critical even at low volumes to improve soundstaging and imaging of monitors.  I’ve also enjoyed Tannoy and KEF monitors and found “concentric drivers” work well in this application. As you’ve already stated, high efficiency speakers do not necessarily equate to sounding good at low level listening. I’ve also got a pair of old Coral BX 200 speakers with alnico magnets that sound great at low level listening for classical and jazz. They can be picked up for around $100 on eBay (you can hardly go wrong trying the Corals.)  I have an environment now that allows for higher listening levels, but if I had to go back to lower level listening I would definitely audition the Von Schweikert Unifield Two MkIII. 

I'd like to audition the Von Schweikert VR-55K and the Lumenwhite Kyara, both high efficiency, easy to drive speakers which could play quietly and beautifully.

Jim (Tomic) makes a ton of sense as he always does.  Thank so much for sharing.  I know you have helped me a great deal.

Speakers need juice, period. Not trying to be argumentative, but spending 1-4 thousand on speakers you won’t hear doesn’t make sense. I get that people are sleeping and the need for lower volume, so just get yourself a good set of headphones instead. Listen to music the way it was meant to be heard.

Much prefer near-field lower level listening to headphones. For the imaging and soundstage. A very nice experience. Besides headphones hurt and you crank the volume too high. Maybe listen 5 hours a day to my desk top system and half an hour to my (very loud) main systems so makes it wiser to spend most money on the desk system (which I havn't...).
