What makes a speaker sound great at low volume?


Most of the time I hear music at a low volume (wifey, apartment, ....). 

I am looking to upgrade my current speakers, but in my market scanning I would like to understand, if there are certain “metrics” to look for, before I start going to stores for listening. 

Any advice?

@mrdecibel I agree . Hi end vintage gears was equipped tone control
loudness control etc, so this is problem with all hi end which you
see on the market now. Is very rare to see all new amp, with any
tone adjustment,  so this issue is depend from speakers . Sensitivity is
absolutely no important. take a look on the freq . responce---
if it is go  slightly up in midbass or bass   it will be play good on the
low volume,
