Jm Lab-which is better?


How much better are the new Be range of speakers versus their own previous generation egMezzo utopias.Can the berylium be inserted into the previous generation speakers with ease?Are there any stark differences bet the 2 generations?

I also owned a pair of the 906's and recently upgraded to the 907Be models. These speakers are excellent. That tweeter is just amazing. It is very smooth and yet at the same time very detailed. Something I have never heard before. Usually it's one or the other. You can not purchase the tweeters seperately and they wouldn't work with the old Electra or Utopia series even if you could. Although I think the Mezzo's are a wonderful speaker, if you can afford the new Be series, by all means do so. I wouldn't say there is a stark differnce between the two series, as there is a common thread. However, that new tweeter is NOT a subtle difference. The Be tweeter made me forget all about my old electrostats.
Note the favorable review of the 907 in issue 33 of
Hi Fi +, which I just picked up yesterday.
A friend of mine owned both Mezzo Utopias and then Alto Utopias BE (which were a direct replacement in JM lab line to Mezzo). He regreats selling Mezzos.

His system consists of JRDG Synergy IIi pre, JRDG power amp, Audiomeca Mephisto II CD.
