Hi Ricpan, nice choice to END with . I'm a long time JBL lover . But I must warn you , stay away from Westlake Speakers . Some years past , I went to a friends house to check out his new mixer . He had purchased a used pair of Westlake BBSM-15's , then rebuilt all the drivers through Orange County Speaker . Made some heavy stands ala Sound Anchor and ran them bi-amped with a pair of Bryston 4BSST's. All I could say was WOW , followed by a song request , then a couple more . We OLD FOLK , tend to revert to our youth and add some upgrades . I have JBL and Klipsch in the Rotation . Been grooving on Zu for the past year . You either Love em or Hate em . Went back to tubes also . Now I'm trying Morrow cables . Anyway , big speakers with big power , yield big air movement ! It's like having a ZZ Top concert in your living room . Anyway sounds nice and I can relate to your taste . If you get bored , try an active crossover and tubes on top . And no matter what people say , you can never have too much power with original JBL's. Happy Listening , Mike.
Journey ending speakers
Listening to to my stereo last night thinking about what upgrade I may do in the future. May upgrade my CD player or change phono cart or a new arm? But one of the things I will never change is my speakers. My journey has ended with the speakers I have now. Are you like me and have your forever speakers? Oh mine are a set of 30 year old 4 way JBL Studio Monitors 4345s.
