I am looking at three speakers They are Volti Audio Lucera, JBL 4349 and the Devore 096. I have been advised that all three excel at low level listening, specifically at 50-55 dbs. Has anybody heard any of the speakers abovementioned?
Thank you.
 
I have not heard those speakers specifically at that low of volumes. When you say dynamic and live at low volumes, do you need to be able to feel the visceral shake of the bass, or just a speaker that sounds clean and articulate across the spectrum?
 
Seeking clean and articulate across the spectrum. Don't believe a visceral shake is possible at 50-55 decibels.
I agree 100% about the shake that's why I was asking making sure expectations were tempered accordingly.

That being said I have not heard those particular Volti speakers but they are similar to the Klipsch Forte which I have heard and believe them to sound dynamic down low. These are speakers that I built similar to altec model 19. I would think for low listening levels and dynamics The Volti or the JBL would work well. I have not heard the 096 but cosmetically I think they are the best looking of the three choices. BTW I rarely listen above 75 dB but after coming home from a concert the other day I wanted to see how they would do it 106 DB and they had no problem lol.
