rodrigaj Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I can't separate $'s or value from the definition of best. So here is my personal "Best" list: 1- Advent (original, large walnut cabinet) 2- Celestion SL600 (with aluminum case) 3- Fried Model H (with the KEF tweeter and external crossover) The value vs sound quality still impresses. For example, how could the Advents be manufactured in the USA for $125? Even in 1976 dollars, that would equate to $532 today. That's with a high quality walnut veneer MDF!

rodrigaj Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 OK, bit the bullet.The PR guy from JBL is saying that this speaker was developed for filmsoundtrack engineers and it's goals are Loud and Low...explosions. I stopped going to the Met Opera Theatre presentations because the sound system in my local theatres was awful. I don't know what the local theatres use, but I have never been impressed by them.
