Klipsch Heresy IV

Having heard the Heresy IVs, and assuming the new JBL have similar character as their classic ancestors, which one prefers would largely come down to personal preference, though Klipsch are inherently more tube amp friendly and efficient by design whereas those JBL less so and probably designed with SS amplification in mind.

So like with pretty much all things, it all depends.

true but,he pointed out that the very thin veneer was pulling away from the JBL's and the Speaker Base/Stand was developing Rust Spots around the Welds..That would hurt someones feelings after dropping that much coin.He did say he felt  the Bass was a little better on the JBL's.

Definitely Heresy over L100....4429’s have a more robust build:)

My veneer is as new...I also use special pads supplied by Deer Creek Audio who made my custom stands!

Totally not true. This fake vlogger most probably let them fall on the floor causing the corner veneer to be damaged. I own the new L100 classics + the stands now for 13 months. I move them around and I have no issue at all with the veneer, quality in general and totally No rust or oxidation whatsoever. I also checked my dealer who has them as a demo model for more than a year now in his shop and no problems at all, not with the speaker, not with the stands.

Look at the internet and search for these faults, you will not find any post of it. Please check all the hundreds of positive reviews about the L100 classic like the one from Andrew Robinson himself (!) and John Darko! Andrew is the only one on the net talking now bad about them after he first called them amazing. He is not even a pro reviewer. What amp did he use? A 200 dollar amp and a low power vintage pioneer. Of course the heresy will launch quicker on low volume as it is 8 ohm and the L100 4 ohm what requests more current. I m really amazed by the L100 classic I must say, like 1000 other reviewers, every day I m stunned by the sound quality, I really consider them audiophile level and find them even better then my focal utopia’s. Anyway 1 hipster reviewer first praising the hell out of them and then fall of on them is really unprofessional. Just my 2 cents.
