I like Eminence, but the JBL woofer is night and day better. The Omega 15 cone is pretty well behaved, so it doesn't have jagged breakup up high. But the shorting ring makes the difference. The JBL sounds much cleaner, with about 15dB lower distortion. It is also less fatiguing when you listen at higher volume levels or at moderate levels for an extended period of time.
