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.

Note: 5 of the 6 available have the remote

this one has no remote, like a door stop without the remote

 

It isn't just the speakers that sound good at low volume, it is the entire system.  The better the system, the less you need to turn it up.  you would benefit greatly by upgrading to one of what Tekton calls their "Flagship"--probably Moab, Encore, or Symphony would suit your needs.  

I find a great DAC and a Great tube amp with these high sensitivity speakers make listening at low levels even more enjoyable that high levels.

My KEF’s don’t start to blossom until 60-65 dbs and above, then they’re great! Not that they sound bad at lower levels.

My old Epi 100 speakers sound great at low volumes, as does my Heresy IV.  Both also sound great at moderate and high volumes.  There doesn't need to be a tradeoff.

 

Yes the Great MBL Omni directional Loudspeakers Everywhere is the sweet spot and pick up information on the recording that’s lost with the vast majority of Loudspeakers being the most critical midrange,and tweeter are outside of the cabinet enclosure,yes even at low volumes ,starting with their smallest speaker the 126 monitors ,
