Comparing the JB 4367 to JBL 4349


In my search for a horn loudspeaker that sounds full bodied, rich and dynamic at listening levels of between 50 and 55 dbs I have 2 speakers that I am looking at:

1. JBL  4367 which is 37 inches high x 22 inches  wide x 26  inches deep   

2. JBL 4349  which is 29 inches high x 17 inches wide x 12 inches deep

My room size is 18 feet by 11 feet with 8 foot ceilings.

Has anybody heard either of the two and can my room size accommodate the larger size speaker without overpowering the room?

Thank you.

55 is really low...

Not at all. The outdoor AC unit typically have a SPL bet. 50 and 60 dBA. It really depends on the background noise level. At my house, the ambient SPL is around 30 dBA during the day and drops to 25 dBA at night. My nominal listening level is approximately 55–60 dBA, with high and low notes slightly boosted following the equal‑loudness contour EQ curve. Just be mindful—protecting your hearing is essential.
