BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS

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.

Best is Trial error adjusting base and tone controller in present set up until your satisfaction SQ. Zero cost

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.

I have Magico A3’s mated with same subs as yours - Svs sb4000 and I am quite pleased. They are at your budget new but can be found used for much less. I have a db app on my phone and not sure of its accuracy. I set it at 60 db at my listening position. I can listen at that level but my 72 yo ears do not pick up all the nuances at that level. I have tennitis which I’m sure doesn’t help. I like it at 70-80 db. I have a dedicated room I can shut off so it doesn’t hinder the wife’s sleeping. Some have posted the A3’s are “dark”. I don’t find that the case at all. Of course cables make a huge difference in how and speakers will sound. I’m using Audio Sensibility signature cables that are quite revealing. Signal is via Innuos Zenith MK3 with Phoenix USB; USB switch with fiber optic. All interconnects are premium Audio Sensibility and Less Loss. I’ve not heard your DAC but I know DACs too make a huge difference in sq. I’m on #4 now and think I’ll stay awhile with the T+A DAC 200. There are better ones but, for the money, not sure. There are so many good speakers out there for your budget. Try to listen to as many as you can. If you’re willing to spend 15k, and don’t mind used, you can get speakers that retailed at 25-30k. And you’ve got power aplenty to drive almost anything. I’m powering my A3’s with 300 w, a Hegel H500. Happy hunting!!
