Speakers for low-level listening
https://speakerchoices.com/ I am not sure what would determine the parameters for low level listening, but Erin's Audio Corner would have clues  
Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated
I am not 100% I am done (who is ever) but at least I am not chasing 6 different amps. I tried Vincent SV-500 Rogue Sphinx v3 Yamaha S801 Creek Evolution 100A I could not try Hegel, Simaudio, Billie. etc. Through the process I learned that... 
Spendor S20 Any good?
Gene would know. Glad to read about such a legend  
Hegel H120 or H190
@agwca I would be interested in your Hegel, if you post where you would list it. Probably would still be outside my budget.

Non-Audiophile Audiophile question!
Any, just switch the left and right speakers 👻  
analyzing sound
I use a different album for speed, soundstage, clarity and detail, each… I am not a Fleetwood Mac fanatic but they have great recordings for all of the above. M Ward is another maximalist. But #1: listen to music you know very well, so your can f... 
Room with glass windows as a walls.
I would use paravans. Obviously one doesn't live in a glass box to cover it up, there must be views. Having played with deflectors by my speakers, paravans may have the exact affect and a nice Japanese is decorative too   
Pass labs krell parasound amps
@richardbrand I bet they are good! And i also bet some people find them beautiful.   
Pass labs krell parasound amps
totally subjective but when I look at Krell, i always think that they made it look so ugly ON PURPOSE  to challenge their buyers to get over the aesthetics and just focus on the sound.   It must sound incredible if people still buy them despite...
