Loudness or high sensitive speakers?

Loudness is used for low volume listening. 
But high sensitive speakers are also said to be good for low level listening.
So either I can have speakers with, say 89dB sensitivity and use a amplifier with a loudness button or just have really sensitive speakers.
And both ways will sound good at low volume. Right? Just as good? Or...?

I've never heard that highly sensitive speakers are good at low volume but I can believe it.  My current speakers are high sensitivity.  

However, I have a second set of speakers, poor sensitivity, but sound great at low volume.  Martin Logan Electrostats.  The bigger the panel the better.
