Speaker upgrade

@doyle3433 ,

I am using JBL L100 Classic speakers in my office system. They are on the dedicated stands, and I am driving them with a McIntosh Integrated amp. The sound was very good. Then I added a single SVS sub, and the sound went from very good to amazing. They are not like the JBL’s of the 60-70’s, which were very bright on top but with a deep bottom end. The new versions do not seem to go as low in the bass as the originals, but the mids and highs are much better. You may or may not need a sub but in my large room, the bass was thin without them.

If you like Cornwall‘s then you might ought tah try Tandberg’s, aka Tanny’s. 

Where are you located?

I am always amazed that people seeking help do not think to mention where they live.

Someone on this forum could be next door to you and own the exact speaker you want to hear.

Any right?

I agree you have to do more listening. Lotta more stuff out there.

Patience will be rewarded. 

Hi I have had Klipsch Heresy IV's and Forte IV's.  I didn't have the courage to buy and carry Cornwall's into my small place. 

I didn't know what I was hearing until I head NSMT 100's.  The difference between a horn and a silk dome covered tweeter was large.  So before you buy more horns I would suggest hearing non horns then it may help you pick.  I did like the sound of the Forte's over the Heresy's.

 My first choice would be the Cornwall’s, JBL makes some great speakers as well. but You might want to look beyond the L100’s
