Low level listening

I am interested in everybody's thoughts on speakers on low level listening. Currently I have Tekton Lore's. They are the upgraded model and I like them, but they open to most of the time at a higher volume then I'm comfortable with. Smart me had to much fun listening to live music. " tinnitus".  I have ordered Magnapan LRS+ which I auditioned at my home which seemed more articulate at lower volumes. Any other ideas would be appreciated. Speakers or cures ? Just kidding about cures.

DBob,

I have the same issue and also have the LRS+ on order.

Elusive as the solution may be I think you are on the right track.

Higher efficiency speakers are a common suggestion. I had some

Altec Horn speakers which were probably the best low volume

speaker I have owned. 

Let's hope the LRS+ is an even better solution!!

very easy to assume that electrostats cannot sound loud at all -- not designed for that.
