mike--i empathize with your frustration--the above responses are singularly unhelpful. i've owned both the hpm 100 and the original jbl l100 (i assume the 120ti is a late 80s update of the l100) and i liked the hpm better--bassier, louder and bigger sounding; also very easy to drive. i tend to think that speakers match better with receivers from the same era, so the pioneer should work well for you.
