The Avantgarde Duo Mezzo's are a work of art, they also have a broader frequency response than the JBL’s.
That said, with the wrong amp the ADM’s can have an in your face sound.
On the other hand I have found JBL’s to be .... well - sound like JBL’s.
I realize it’s a horse of a different colour, but if you’re going to spend that kind of money, at least give the MurAudio PX1s an audition. I have yet to hear a speaker that sounds as life like, transparent, and dynamic as the PX1’s, not to mension their broad frequency response. In other words "real". You can also save yourself $10 grand with the MurAudio’s over the JBL’s.
