Sounds like a sweet set-up, John! Thanks for sharing with us. I have often considered JBL cinema systems, andwondered if htey sounded good. Your insights are helpful! I have a pair of 1978 original (meaning totally stock) Klipschorns. I like the way tey sound too. Right now my common listening setup is a triamoe setup, with a HSu sub driving the bass from 25 Hz to about 90 HZ. It sounds fine for my room, and provides a good foundation. -akhilesh
