Hi, I’m in the same situation as you with my hearing.After a few years of experimenting with components and sound I finally reached a point where my sound quality is very satisfying to me. I’m using a Shindo pre amp and amplifier with a Mr T power conditioner.My digital setup is a Synergistic Research switch which connects Ethernet cable, and Muon Pro to the Aqua LinQ transporter to my Weiss 501 Mk2. I used the DSP on my Weiss to my advantage and my taste. I am listening with Fleetwood Deville SQ at 60 to 75 dbS and sounds great, whether loud or low, the details these speakers give out is amazing.After lots or trial and errors, this is the best I ever heard. Good luck with your search , just thought to share my personal journey.
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.
