JBL 4349 at low listening levels.

The JBL 4349 was recommended to me for my 11 x 13 room, specifically for its superior dynamics and full bodied sound at low volume levels. My personal definition of low listening levels is 50-55 decibels.  I also considered the 4367 which is twice the price of the 4349, but I believe the 4367 would be too big for my room, aesthetically and acoustically.

My question is do the JBL's  4349 play full bodied and dynamic at around 50-55 dbs?

The main reason I am looking at a horn style speaker is because of their supposed superiority at low listening levels.

Thank you for any thoughts you may have.

For 50-55 db, get some hifiman headphones.. or get some niche in-ear earphones and stick it in your ear (small drivers/associated impulse response, clarity, detail, etc should work well for 50-55 dB sleeping levels). One thing to watch out for is that snoring levels may easily exceed the 50-55db and drown your music.

Will the helpful advice ever cease?
