Surprise, surprise? Come on, anyone who once in his life has listened 1) to a demonstration of JBL large professional studio monitors from 4343 to Everest 2) done a pro recording knows what true sound reproduction quality is. Surprisingly JBL professional drivers are not expensive considering the incredible quality and experience they carry. Only the marketing war opposing audiophile to professional sound has prevented these marvels to be heard more often and better distributed...At a time when some manufacturers are still daring to sell their poor products by differentiating classical vs. rock speakers, amps or whatever cables, JBL professional drivers are lifetime investments.My system: Sources Linn unidisk 1.1, LP 12Electronics: Bryston 7B, 7B, 2B, 2B all SST, BP25 MPS2, Rane AC 24 crossoverJBL 2241,2226, 2446+2382, 2404 per channelInvestment max $60k, enjoyement $millions!
