I have a mint condition JBL-L96 that I bought from an audio store, after auditioning Traingle, PSB, Paradigm, and others that I cant remember,,,I have owned Mission, Wharfedale, Pinnacle and afraid to say Bose 901's long time ago...
I spend a lot of time in audio boutiques, but the JBL's have something that other speakers didnt have...I couldnt enjoy the sound unless I was always sitting in the sweetspot..The JBL's to my ears are the most accurate I have heard..I stopped worrying about the pinpoint imaging, and soundstaging, and focused on the music, because it sounds just so real...
Even though they love Rock, I had a solo classical guitar CD, and it was uncannily "there" and palpable...1" titanium tweeter, 5" midrange and 10" woofer..
