BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS

This thread got me thinking. Klipschorns were mentioned as sounding good at low volume. I would agree they can be captivating, although not a lot of bass. I think the loudness curve has something to do with it. But the speaker can have flat on-axis response. It just needs a total power response that has a dip in the middle, and I think that's what the k-horns do with that big beamy mid-horn, and that little tweeter up top. 

So perhaps a smaller speaker with an 8 inch mid-woofer that's crossed over kind of high to a small, wide dispersion tweeter would have similar low volume effect.

Acoustically Centered Time Alignment Cabinet Architecture

Curved front baffle aligns all drivers on a vertical plane ensuring sound from each driver reaches your ears at the exact same instant.

Maximizes phase coherence for more convincing and immersive soundstage with pinpoint accuracy and imaging.

Midrange drivers and woofers positioned above and below the tweeter allow for seamless crossover blending to create an idealized “point-source” where sound emanates from single point in front of the speaker to optimize dispersion characteristics.

Quad 8” Glass Fiber Woofers in Force-Balanced Array

Dual opposing active woofers on the top and bottom of the cabinet render effortless low frequency response while addressing room modes with deep, authoritative bass is evenly spread throughout the listening area.

Mechanical energy from each front-firing woofer is equaled inside the cabinet by the rear-firing woofer eliminating mechanical coloration for pure, accurate low frequencies at any playback level.

Dual 5.25" Glass Fiber Composite Midrange Drivers

Superb stiffness to mass ratio on dual driver array conveys stunning dynamics with flawless tonal accuracy.

Creative round computer speakers

you mean the Pebbles? They make better ones than that.

I recently had the pleasure of listening to the OJAS collaboration with Klipsch, the KO-R1 at my local hifi shop.  At low volumes it sounded absolutely amazing with vocal content.  Not much below 50 Hz with these as I understand, but if you aren't listening to a lot of pop music or music with sub bass content, these would fit the bill nicely paired with your subwoofers 

For those that keep bringing up Fletcher Munson, although this is good information, what people don't account for is the fact that our hearing and our biases for sound at low level can oftentimes incorporate the FM curve automatically as that's how we are used to lower DB music sounding.  Although completely accurate, I don't think adjusting to the FM curve always makes sense with "loudness" functions.  Lower dB music may have lowered bass etc because of the curve, but the OP may enjoy this perceived lack of low end etc.  Just food for thought - maybe the curve is WHY he likes low volume listening. 

I second those that are asking about your power conditioning.  I have a Gemini 8 from Shunyata and it made a huge difference for low level detail at lower volume.  OJAS are $8k or so, Gemini 8 is $2500.  $10,500 and enough left over to see an audio specialist about the ears!

If you have dealer close enough to listen to some QLN towers,  would definitely sit down check them out. Don’t let there size fool you, fantastic speakers.
