    I have been using K-140, 2440+2308, 2405 with original frequency dividing networks for studio monitors, it’s really great sound better than 4350 and 4343.

    JBL 660GTi’s are nice. they are lighter (main driver cone) than they look. Very well made. I’d like to meet the builder for mine. I also remember the 40 annievers. But these are both car audio another department from the home theatre, but the similar jousted.

    @hyperconnected08
    Well if it wasn’t for one British best looking and sounding cinema the Empire Leicester Square 21 years ago I wouldn’t have brought JBL a year later. The original JBL Lucasfilm THX sound system spec was 13KW JBL x5 4675-A x8 4645 x22 JBL 8830 x15 JBL Urei 6290 amps Dolby CP200 Philips DP70.

    Today the Empire kicks a wicked 56KW customized JBL THX! that is most powerful THX cinema in the whole of Europe as well being digital 3D. The sound is out of this world.

    JBL quality is superior to anything out there. Only Klipsch comes close.

    Hi m8 ,,,gr8 vids, j b l is the best for me im puting 12 subs and 12 mid and 12 tweeters in my new install have a look,,,,,,low.

    @slaving300 They run off two channels of an AVR 7550HD

  15. slaving300 says:

    @hyperconnected08 Ok, Do you have the same speakers I have? Control Monitor Consumer? which amp did you use?

  16. hyperconnected08 says:

    @slaving300 a better amp will make a world of difference, have a pair of these for my bedroom system and they sound amazing. Used them in several installations for home theater too. you might want to check out harman audio dot com for a referb unit or when some special pricing events take place you might be able to grab a deal on one

  17. slaving300 says:

    @hyperconnected08 Ok, thanks a lot, I’m searching a receiver with optical input, but Harman Kardon is too expensive for me, which one you recomend me, I need two channels only. And I have the consumer model.

  18. hyperconnected08 says:

    @slaving300 That will depend, which “contol monitor” consumer has a model named that while pro has model lines that share the same name. I don’t consider Sherwood a top class receiver, and the spec is not always apples to apples in that catagory so you may find say an Harman Kardon 3490 vs the sherwood is a night and day difference. Or something like a HK HK990 would be in another class all together.

  19. hyperconnected08 says:

    @L00peey I think if you look closer you will find JBL caters to a wider group of consumers than most companies. From the entry level to the top end. They are divided into two sections to cater to the respective audience Consumer and Synthesis. Synthesis is not as widely assorted as JBL goes to great lengths to ensure those products are sold by only the best dealers in the biz. Not the type of product you would see at say a Best Buy.

  20. slaving300 says:

    Hi, I have the JBL Control Monitor with a Sherwood receiver with 200 watts(100 watts each channel) did you think it have better sound and quality than a Dj or professional amp?
    thanks.

  21. L00peey says:

    i dont see why jbl speakers are classed by alot of ppl as more to the low end or mid section of quality if they were the best back then. i mean look at their subs.. why do they make such cheap shit when thy couldave carried on making high end audio. i mean sme of their subs are good but the loww end ones are smething that should be left to other cheap ass companies. as for speakers i dont really see any. maybe i should look up more.
