Need advice on speakers for a condo

We're about to move into a high-rise and I'm looking for any experience you guys may have on speakers for that application. It's a steel and concrete building and is fairly quiet, so not like an apartment, but I'll still have some limitations on how loud I can listen.
The issue that I have with my RTi and the LSi is that, while they sound great at higher volumes, they don't sound quite as good at lower volumes. My Totem Rainmakers sound decent at lower volumes, but those are going to pull bedroom duty - I can always order another pair of those but want to see what other options are.
I would think something like a Magnepan or ML that uses a different technology might sound better at lower volumes, but I don't have any experience or even science to base that on. Come to think of it, that's more of just a random thought than anything.
Any thoughts or recommendations?

Absolutely. Focal 807v's.~ In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence. ~

I'm going Totem. If you like the Rainmakers you'll love the Hawks.They sound fantastic at low volumes. I can't se you owning Facal 807's after owning the Rainmakers. We have both on the floor near each other and the Rainmakers are in my opinion a much better sounding speaker with way better mid range and top end sparkle. I'm a huge fan of Focal up and down all of there lines but The Rainmakers are just that damn good.Dan
My personal quest is to save to world of bad audio, one thread at a time. -
I swear I gotta get my ears on those someday. I keep hearing nothing but good things about them.~ In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence. ~
