Well; since you ask.. JBL has a house sound. They are best for certain types of music. Other big drivers have their own sound; it's a matter of taste and there is only one way to find out; ya gotta listen to them. Everyone has an opinion on this; thats mine. And I am stickin' to it. You can read about drivers all you want; but at the end of the day you still have to hear them, whenever you listen to music.
