dougey,
Lots of opinions out here, everybody's got one. You say you've narrowed it down to three. My suggestion would be to look up dealers in your area (state) that can demo all three JBL models. Then walk, drive or fly there to hear them. Trust your ears! You mentioned that you were impressed by the looks of the L100s ("Best looking grilles"), so if that matters then take that into consideration. You'll probably be living with your choice for a long time.
