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.

Here is a good idea to investigate:

https://www.high-endaudio.com/used_he.html

Arthur Savadore is probably the most knowadgeable person I know of in this hobby, and he has a set at your price that may fit your needs perfectly.  Any time I've tried anything he has suggested, the performance has been 100% spot on.

He considers "sound floor" as his major criteria for evaluating speakers.  That sounds like what you are looking for.

Personally, I either would not recommend any suggested above that I have heard, or I am totally unfamiliar with the models suggested.  The reason being is that you are currently using electrostatics, and I would think that a different build philosophy may get you where you need to go.

If you happen to be in Florida, Arthur is based out of there.

If you decide to investigate this, tell him "hi" for me, and I haven't forgot about the Ella Fitzgerald review.

Hope it goes well!

Sincerely,

John
