high end jbl or horns or emerald physics c1


Can anyone give me their opinions. I saw a pair of jbl's for sale for about the price of the Emerald Physics c1's. I still have my burmester 956 amp but have been looking at ML or I have some high power tube amps laying around I could use.

I have the ML 390's front end. Looking for some eq for the system also.

I mainly listen to rock music. Alt. rock and Classic rock at "extended realistic" volumes.

I have some jbl 4733 that have the output wanted but no finesse.(?) I like my old altec lansing studio monitors the best so far for what i listen to.

I'd check out Westlake BBSM 12 - these will have you smiling and rocking out - used around $3K.
"for what you listen to i would buy jbl..."

YUP, I'd agree. Since those old JBLs sound greatly forward, details, and can be turned up very loud, they are great for your rock music. They are easy to set up in the room. I still have the JBL L100 t3 and I take it out and listen to them sometimes. They are great but totally diff character with my new ones which is warm and more musical.
Well, if you have the cash, there will always be something out there for ya. I first thought my JBLs were king, no other speakers in the world can beat it. Oh boy, how much I was wrong.
its tuff to give an opinion on jbl without knowing the model. different series have different attributes, and possibly drawbacks. certain models are indeed god's balls.
Expand your listening tastes and buy speakers that can play all types of music. =8^)
I had a pair of JBL L-200 speakers sitting around here for a few years when I discovered Acoustic Horn Company. In speaking with the owner, Bill Woods, I became convinced that all my L-200 needed was a better horn. This proved to be true.
If you go to:

you can see my project which, I suspect is exactly what you are looking for.
They will play very loud with no breakup and the clearest, most natural, undistorted reproduction I have ever owned.

I bypassed the horn and crossover in the JBLs, mounted the ah300 on top and biamped through a dbx Drive Rack PA. It was a very simple mod.
