One Word - Fantastic! 
by Geren W. Mortensen, Jr. from Columbia, Maryland USA, July 2008
Music Background:  Almost 30 years live sound (acoustisound), keyboardist

I've owned a pair of these speakers for almost a year now, and they continue to impress me every time I use them. They handle every situation, from a singer-songwriter with a guitar to a an all out reggae-funk band with aplomb, even in outdoor festival situations. I'm sure that the "quasi three-way" crossover design has a lot to do with the sound of these speakers -- punchy and powerful.

If there's a downside to these speakers, it's that they're 4 ohm cabinets. I wish that JBL had used 16ohm woofers, and provided a pair of speakons for daisy-chaining. Though, with many of today's amps being stable into 2ohm loads, this may be a non-issue. My only other gripe is that they're covered in a glued-on felt carpet that easily pulls up at the seams.

If my sound truck were big enough, I'd buy another pair today!
