Well I do not think there is any speaker that can be said to "open up" better at lower volume than higher. Things pretty much always open up with volume.
Some things to think about though.
Is your listening room quiet enough to hear clearly at low levels?
That matters a lot. If room is quiet many speakers with right amps do well at lower volumes I find.
Also at low volume the extreme high and low frequencies and some others that our ears do not hear as well need to be bumped up more than normal to hear everything correctly. Human ears do not have flat frequency response even if gear does at low volume. If gear doesn’t what sounds great at low volume may not sound as good at higher volume.
Preamps integrateds, receivers etc. used to provide loudness controls for this reason. Some were better than others but generally delivered better sound at low volume than otherwise. Unfortunately most audiophile gear forego any tone controls so you can’t have it all with many but not all products today.
If all is going well otherwise, there should be more difference in what speakers can do at higher volumes rather than low. That’s where a lot of work is involved and the men get separated from the boys.
Not all preamps nor amps necessarily retain flat output response at various levels. Some will argue that higher quality low power amps in general are designed to do better at lower volumes. SET amps are said to excel at low volumes when not stressed for example especially when used with high efficiency speakers.
Very hard for any one system to do it all best at all levels.
Just some food for thought.
