Most coherent low volume speaker with very fast bass under 10k used?

Second audio system in your house?
Ok, I am timid in admitting it, I am a bit of a collector… been addicted to electronic gear since sometime around my 7th birthday… much unused gear around my house not even mentioned here… Pro audio gear etc…. an artifact of being a musician in th... 
classe, bryston fully balanced?
Excellent description !!! I love great music and sound... I have played with a lot of equipment over the years and nearly all my pro gear after the 60's had the "balanced" XLR type connectors and cables for low level signal transfer... mics, mixer...
