JM Labs Beryllium
I have the Mezzo`s I have listened to both the Alto`s and Nova`s with CJ tube`s. I must admit they both sounded very nice. But must also admit they did not sound 10K better a good used pair of mezzo`s are going for 5.8 to 5K. As Ghostrider45 has m...

Does anyone have any experience with JM Labs Alto?
Highreso congrad`s on your purchase, as a mezzo owner I beleive you have made a wise choice. JM Labs monitor are very detailed with say a electra sw900, but after listening to the next step up what of course is now the Alto then the Nova, you have...

JM Lab mini Utopia's and which sub
I will start off by saying I`m kind of bias on this one since I have a pair of mezzo`s. The sub utopia would be my choice and as kirk930 said the electra would be my 2nd option I`ve heard both combo`s and you most certainly will have a sound that`...
