I haven't had a chance to live with them, and to me, that's as important as the first hour or two of listening. But to be honest, I probably won't post subjective opinions comparing the JBL to the AE models. I like and respect both too much to set them against each other in a subjective comparitive review.
I will tell you this: Both are top-notch, doesn't-get-any-better-than-this speakers. One is from a large company that has the resources to model, test and design to the Nth degree. The other is from a small niche company that makes quality machining, fit and finish - and sound - a highly personal labor of love. Both hit the target, dead-on bulls-eye, in my opinion. They make my job easy, designing a good loudspeaker with these parts, because they act as expected and there are no anomalous "warts" to design around.
Having both, one in the three π and six π and the other in the four π and seven π models, allows the discerning audiophile choose their favorite "flavor". You can't go wrong with either one.
