BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS

My system is as follows:

  1. Martin Logan 11A Impressions hybrid electrostatic speakers.
  2. Bryston 4B3 cubed power amp 300 per channel into 8 and 500 into 4.
  3. Bryston BP-19 preamp, Chord Qutest Dac & Lumin U2 mini stream.
  4. SVS subs-pair of SB-4000
  5. 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.
  6. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Due to age and ear issues I can listen comfortably at 55-60 dbs and not much louder. 
  7. Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.

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. 
Take if from me, a professional classical and jazz musician that is also a systems engineer.

Op we were a Bryston dealer for years the 4b amplifier is good the 19 preamp is okay, a tube preamp will add a fuller midrange which will increase your sense of fullness at a lower volume level we know your loudspeakers well lone of our clients has them.

the Legacy fFocus or Aeris will give you what  you are seeking 

 

changing your preamp will really flesh out your sound.

I would suggest speaker with active adjustable low end. This way you can adjust bass levels to your taste and level of listening. This is why I love GR Research Bully.

DeVore O/96 at low volumes are very nice.  The Lumin X1 is my preamp and has LEEDH processing which really does keep the music more balanced sounding at lower volumes...  That probably helps.
