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.

Børresen speakers have an inherent response that compensates for the Munson/EL curve.

Klipsch Heresys are also pretty good for such dilemmas, but they lack some refinement relative to others, and require tube amps to sound best.

Another good option might be a powered speaker with onboard DSP such as the KEF LS50W or LS60, which will mostly allow you to tune the response to taste, without the drawbacks you get from conventional analog tone controls.
