Does anybody have any experience with the JBL 1400

I've heard them. They are really good speakers. That amp is fine for them. The downside is you have to assemble that horn on top of the bass cabinet. If you're clumsy, you might wanna get a friend to help. What price are we talking? How much off of retail? Good luck!

I agree, there's no typical horn coloration. I chalk that up partially to the material (Sonoglass) that JBL uses for their high end horn-based systems such as my S4700s (one model up from the 1400s). Both are very good to great speakers overall! Then you get into the K29900s and Everests which are in a league of their own!

Likewise, Audiolabyrinth! Good luck on getting your new speakers! :D

I briefly heard the 67000s at CES. They sound great, and everyone in the room was quite taken by them. They are definitely a "super-speaker."

Right now, I use a Bryston 4BSST amp, 300 Wpc into 8 Ohms. Not the best, but not the worst, imo.

I can safely say the same about my S4700s. And there's no horn colorations! JBL has done the Synthesis line the right way. It's definitely not some half-assed effort. The 1400 Arrays are a damn good deal as well.

Sure, right around 8 months now. :D
