Klipsch and horn speakers are known for sounding very good at very low listening levels! Because of speakers varying designs some do better at this than others. It's nonsense to say that a speaker is bad just because it doesn't sound really good at low listening levels!
BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS
My system is as follows:
- Martin Logan 11A Impressions hybrid electrostatic speakers.
- Bryston 4B3 cubed power amp 300 per channel into 8 and 500 into 4.
- Bryston BP-19 preamp, Chord Qutest Dac & Lumin U2 mini stream.
- SVS subs-pair of SB-4000
- I listen at 55-60 dbs. Can anybody recommend a speaker with a budget of $15,000.00 per pair that sounds alive and dynamic at low listening levels. My dealer sells, Totem, Triangle and Proac.
- Any recommendations would be appreciated. Due to age and ear issues I can listen comfortably at 55-60 dbs and not much louder.
- Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.

@kjl1065 - I believe the only speaker type that would fit your bill will be a one driven my electromagnets - ie: field coil driver/s. Thing is, these don’t come cheap and to fit within your budget might take a little more than 15k brand new, although you should be able to find a used Wolf Von Langa Son at about that : ) in friendship - kevin |

May be , room acoustic treatment could help. If not , a highend headphone kit could be the solution |
Buy a pair of ESS AMT 2b, with Heil Air Motion transformers and a sexy tight bass with a 12" woofer and 12" passive woofer. |
