Seeking a new loudspeaker, horn, single driver, concentric or open baffle

My current system consists of the following:

  • 1. Martin Logan 11A Impressions (hybrdid)
  • 2. Bryston 4B3 cube3d power amp 300/channel into 8 ohms
  • 3. Rogue Audio RP-1 preamplifier
  • 4. Lumin U2 mini streamer with LHY linear power supply
  • 4. Weiss 204 Dac with Modwright power supply
  • 5. SVS 2 subs SB-2000

Looking for a loudspeaker that sounds rich, full bodied and alive at 50-55 decibel levels. My hearing just checked is within normal limits at 73. Above db levels of 60 is uncomfortabIe. Also purchased the Schitt Loki Max equalizer to counteract the Fletcher Munson curve but did not help. I have read about many speakers, such as the Volti Razz,  Lucera,  JBL 4349, JBL 4367, Devore 0/96,  and Zu audio.  Would any of my choices listed above meet my goals? Would appreciate any suggestions that as well.  The other issue is that I live on Long Island and not many dealers that I know of  have speakers on hand for audition. My price range new only is $12-$15,000.00. But at those numbers, want to hear first, before buying. Not willing to drive or fly to Tennessee to hear the Voltis. Am I asking for too much?  Appreciate any input.

Hi kjl1065,

First my opinion is your source and electronics are certainly up to the task. That opinion rests on two biases. First over years and several mixes of brands the configuration of a tube preamp driving solid state power amp is in my experience one of the rare hybrids where one gets the best of the two technologies. Second everytime I encounter Bryston power amps the transparency and effortlessness they exhibit impresses.

Now I will humbly invite you to consider my PureArtFi LS-6 as your next speaker. Matt over at Everyday Audiophile does an excellent job relating what the LS-6 is all about in his YouTube review:

PureArtFi LS-6 | Easily one of the best (I've heard)

PureArtFi LS-6

The reason I believe the LS-6 addresses your desire for "a loudspeaker that sounds rich, full bodied and alive at 50-55 decibel levels." is two fold. First the advances brought by Purifi Audio's USHINDI - Ultra Low Distortion Transducer Technology (USHINDI) set a new state-of-the-art in clarity at all levels including low SPLs thanks to both the lowering of HD & IMD distortions and very advanced magnetic system in drivers' motors. Second the extreme measures we take at PureArtFi in the enclosure design and build quiets the noise most speakers' boxes add to our music.
