@johnlcnm...thanks for the heads up.  I’m actually pretty pleased already with bass response, so no worries there.  Perhaps just a slight bit of transparency needed, which should come as the crossovers burn in and that woofer becomes more agile fo... 
JBL - almost nothing for sale, why?
We know jburidan, we know!  Harman still makes some great stuff...Mark Levinson, Revel etc..  Just because they are not made by ma n pa kettle or some audio sage darling of the year, the JBL sound seems to still be there.  Guttenberg’s take on the...

WOW!! Just wow is all I can say about my 4429’s....even cold out of the box they have that physical presence to the sound and the best tonality I’ve heard. I’ve had Wilson 6’s and 7’s, and Dynaudio C4’s and B&W 802 D3’s to name a few and none ...

Krell Kct vs Audio Research Ref 2 or 3
Go ARC then...should give you the most fleshed out, dynamic sound.

ELAC is another bargain! 
Why so many used focals?
I got 20% off my Kanta 2’s from a dealer NIB.  I sold them, but discounts can be had...IME. 
We are buying and reviewing gear all wrong
