JBL Summit L300 or Klipsch Cornwall for Jadis ?

Have never heard the L300's, but then again I have a Klipsch habit. Cornwalls with quality gear will provide what you are looking for. I own and use Cornwalls daily and yes the singer is in the room. Cornwalls excel in clarity and dynamics. Try to demo a pair. Check out the forum at www.klipsch.com.

It may be opposites attract, but as a diehard Maggie-lover-owner, I have somehow always liked the sound Klipsch classic series. Love the Cornwalls. Go with those.

To add to Macdadtexas post, I am a diehard stat fan and own Martin Logan Summits but have always enjoyed Horns, especially with tubes.

Both are great picks for a "in the room" presentation. If your going to be living with them a long time, pay the extra and get the JBL's, You'll look at that smoked glass top and that beautiful wood and have a nice pride of ownership thing. The Cornwalls will do what your after, so will the JBL's.

Have Fun

Originally I was a stats fan, then I became a horn fan. I have real horns in my main system and Altec Model 19s in a second system. The JBL L300s definitely have the looks going for them. The Cornwalls (and the 19s) are probably a bit more sensitive. The L300 cabinet, besides looking good, is quite solidly built. I agree with Steelhead the L300s will give you pride of ownership. Unless speaker design radically changes, I expect any one of these speakers would keep a great deal of their value. I for one think the 19s, at least at the price I bought them, are one of audio's great values.
