JBL for Jeff Rowland.

Hello everyone!

Building a second system

Bought a second hand Jeff Rowland Concentra MKI and holy crap! I'm freaking out with the sound! A friend lent me a pair of Harbeth 30.2 XD, they're beautiful, but I wonder how a JBL would sound: 4309, L82 or 4312G...  Thinking in those JBL speakers to pair with the JR integrated. Rest of system are a Node 3gen (which might be changed for an Eversolo dmp-a6), and a VPI Cliffwood or MoFi TT, will see!

What would be a better match for the Rowland? Jazz, Bossanova, Folk,Classical,  Soul, Funk, and some Classic Rock.

Room is an open kitchen livinvg room 20sqm or so,

Thanks!

There’s a huge difference between the sound of JBL’s and Harbeth speakers.  If you liked the sound of the pair you had, why change?

Mostly they’re not mine, and price and I miss my old 4349 and 4305p.

I have owned many Harbeth models including the 30.1. In your size room the P3 (one of my favorite Harbeths} would be a good fit. The price for the p3 is a lot less than the 30.1. If you check the HIFI shark listings you can save about 50% on any Harbeth if you buy used!
