You have a very nice cabinet with sweet sound and accuracy. I would consider it a high powered stereo speaker and very good for short range projection.
I have 4-JBL 4691B the 2-way version of yours. They have the D-140 and a 2426J 1" HF driver. I bought a pair new in 1986 for about 1500.00. I also bought a used pair in the 90's for about 600.00. I still have them and just converted them to speakon connectors keeping the 1/4 inch ones as well. I found that during the vocal test the 2-way 4691B produced the vocals with much more throw as far as projection in a medium to large room. In the test your cabinet sounded excellent up close but the vocals became harder to understand and did not stick out nearly as well across the room. If you want projection you may want to consider a HF horn and driver or add one to what you have got. Hope this helps!
