I would recommend looking at Joseph Crowe Audio for a pair of horns.
he makes numerous options that are perfect for low level listening, which is how I listen most nights.
SPEAKERS THAT SOUND ALIVE & DYNAMIC AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS
- Seeking speakers that sound alive and dynamic at 55 dbs with occasional peaks at 60 dbs. Headphones do not work for me. My ears were just tested and ENT advised my ears are normal for a 72 year old. He said that I have normal age related hearing loss. My ears are uncomfortable when I listen over 55 dbs. My current system is as follows:
Martin Logan11A impression loudspeakers with 2 SVS 4000 subs.
Bryston 4B3 Cubed power amp & Bryston BP-19 preamp.
Chord Qutest Dac-with LHY linear power supply.
Lumin U2 mini streamer with S Booster power supply.
Before I change speakers I plan to upgrade my DAC to Weiss 204 with Linear power supply, and then purchase Schitt Audio Loki Max equalizer (to boost bass and treble) hopefully to counteract Fletcher Munson Curve.
Finally I was thinking of Klipsch Forte 4 & Cornwall 4, and Frigg 2 by O Audio, as
reviews of all three say they all sound great at low volumes. I know many say Klipsch is not high end or very revealing, but is there anybody out there that owns or has heard any of the above. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I enjoy this hobby and the great music it brings to the table. I don't want to stop listening and just seeking to find a solution that would allow me to continue musical enjoyment.
Thanks for your thoughts.

@kjl1065. About 2-3 weeks ago I started a similar thread. I had similar issues and desires. You can read more by searching that thread and my user name. Long story short, I solved my own issue by purchasing a Shiit Loki Max EQ. Cool device, kind of expensive. Their cheaper models might do the trick, fewer frequency ranges to tweak. Your mileage may vary. |
