Not very loud. Using an Android sound meter I just got an average of 69dB over the span of a minute or so and that is slightly louder than I would normally listen if I am honest.
The Totems are definitely easier to drive than the KEFs (and the bookshelf equivalent from Totem themselves). They sound more alive at lower volumes, too. Unsure if that's due to their sensitivity or just because they're better engineered for low level listening.
Interesting, thanks. This my argument against standmounts... A) you still need stands and b) floorstanders can generate those nice full range dynamics at quieter volumes. Maybe properly driven, and louder the ls50 would be cleaner... But does it get your foot tapping?
