Just moved to an apartment need speaker suggestions


my better half and I just moved into an apartment need speaker suggestions, current speakers are Magnepan 1.6qr with Rythmik f15hp subs x2, need something as engaging as the Maggies but able to play softly, will be driven by a Classe CAP 2100 integrated.  thanks in advance.

My suggestion would be to buy DeCapo 3MM monitors with stands , forget about subwoofers. Maggie's, in my experience, need to be driven to a bit higher volume levels to sound good...not good for an apt. Go the higher efficiency route and gravitate to El-84's for fine apartment listening. 90 db. +. ( Older/recapped Scott amps still a good deal when you can find them and classically beautiful. - Where's "cinkpa"?/Sam's Audio? Wright Sound had some El-84's...who else? Triode Labs.)
(The Pulsars are amazing for 4 times the price. + Need quality power. But probably as stated, have too much bass for an apartment.) 
Check out Opera speakers/Sonus Fabers to go with your Classe's as another idea if you want floor standers.
