Quest to achieve live sound


I have often found myself at concerts where JBLs are used for sound. Yet I have spent a whole lot of money over the years investing in high end when perhaps a set of Peevey's or similar PA speakers would have been enough to get me closer to the holy grail. Any comments or similar feelings of other members?

Seeking 'live' concert sound is the last thing you want to replicate in your home. Concert sound is 'pro' to fill the venue, not provide quality listening. JBL and Peevey excel at filling space, leaving quality out. That does not say that JBL does not make a quality speaker for home use. JBL has a speaker line called Everest, a pair goes for about $60K and you need a room that can accommodate 'large'. The Kimber room at the recent RMAF had a pair. Perhaps someone who listened to them can comment on their sound. Our cohorts in Japan love them.
