i had that similar experience with my vanderstein 3a's they sounded nice but when i purchased the jbl 250ti, the speakers walked all over the vandersteins, both imaging, power handling and dynamics...that was my experience. but for the technics to sound better...thats weird, perhaps you should check your amps, maybe they dont have the power. how much power does the cj put out?
go where after vandersteen 2ce
i bout a pr of technics sb-cr77 3 way at a yard sale. just out of curiosity i hooked them up vs my 2ce's, and in many ways they sounded better. they were louder, the hghs were clearer, the base was deeper in most music. i couldnt believe my ears. my wife listened and she said it sounded like the vandy's were on mute or diff volume or something was covering them. i do have sound comming out of the tweeter- so the speaker seems to be working fine I've never had a prob with them. cj is the power. im just dumfounded. in my mind the vandies are out. heeelllpp!!
