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.

"speaker overpowering the room"

I guess "overpowering the room" depends on individual ears. To my ears, JBL speakers will always overpower the room to listen properly.

In this video, ( JBL 4367 monitor ) JBL sounds are everywhere, except the listening chair. It’s because JBL sounds fill the room 1st and then reaching to the listening chair (center of the room). JBL spkrs fill the room 1st because JBL sounds are backward like almost every other speakers in the world. Some of you listen the sound like JBL for all your life and to them, even the original music sounds weird and distorted.  Original music  Chantal - Besame Mucho

In this video, Wavetouch speaker (room: 22'L x 13.5'W x 8'H)  sounds forward (natural) and never overpower the room even with a powered sub-woofer.
