speakers for low level listening

I am looking for some speakers to use when listening at night or any other time I dont want to disturb others. My main speakers are PSB Stratus Gold, but they don't quite do what I want when listening at low levels. I'd like something that is still dynamic at low levels, something that still gets you going, not something that sounds like background muzak. Stand mount fine.
I listen exclusively to vinyl, system is on this site. Any recommendations in the under 5k range?

For me horns are the better loudspeakers at low volume levels. I have a few systems the ones with horns I can hear full sound at very low volume levels. The horns controlled radiation pattern allows sound to be less effected by room. Maybe consider a Altec EV or JBL horn system.

I had Zu Superflys in my home for several days. I found I liked them best for low level listening - really superb. Low level volume but still able to portray all of the recording, great dynamics, clear. If I only listened at lower levels I would have seriously considered keeping them.

Triangle Cometes have been in my bedroom system for years.
Great at low volumes.
