adding second set of speakers

i fully agree with millercarbon here--adding more speakers, especially of a different brand, will give you more decibels, but will very likely sound worse--you're probably better off with one well-placed set

  well, i went and done it. i wyred up the JBL’s and pointed them in corners directly beside my listening position as my couch is at the far wall with main monitors directly in front of me. now I have set the high pass sub woofer to 80Hz so the 4 monitors are getting everything 80Hz and up. with the JBL’s up about one-third, the soundstage is pretty wide. I am liking this. Now, I did not disconnect the tweeters. Do you feel this will be an added benefit? You mention using some pillows to control the sound... please elaborate. One thing I will try is wiring the JBL’s to the full range inputs and see what that sounds like...

Just curious, how do you like the Model One's?  I've had mine for almost two years now and feel they sound pretty darn good for the $ but haven't seen too many (If any) threads about these sleepers

dude, I am an avowed horn guy, but I really like the Model 1 AirPulse. I was looking for an upgrade from the JBL LSR 305, and these Model 1's are exactly that... better drivers- the midrange is transparent and the ribbons are way extended, better timber and tone when adjusted correctly and you should hear electronic music on these ... WOW¡!¡! I think my next step up will probably be JBL LSR 708p and a swarm sub setup. I think that the Model 1 is probably the best you can do for $900 a pair new... the JBL LSR 705p would be the next step up in price-used

Got mine for the intro price of $795.00 and really do like them.  I was fortunate enough to find a pair of Platinum Audio Ref 1's for sale locally (another Phil Jones creation) and can't believe how good these sound.  They're about twenty years old but these are in a different league altogether and the bass is even better and more extended if you can believe that but no plans on selling the Model ones and probably going to be listening to them over the weekend.  There's definitely something to be said about less cabling and component clutter as that's why I took a flyer on the Model one's to begin with.  Glad I did
