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?

Many thanks for a lot of inspiring input. I have enjoyed reading the responses including the recommendations for other ways to improve SQ than replacing speakers.

My selected take-away for now is
- go for high sensitive speaker (above 92 DB)
            - eventually go for Horns
            - eventually go for studio monitors (or mid size speakers) 
- add EQ in some way, either via DAC, Pre-AMP or room correction
- replace current AMP with a Tube-based AMP

I will start with the speakers and move down the list - and replace my DAC at some point. 

Many thanks. Michael
