Anyone have any input on JM Lab Cobalt 816S

My experience was with the 806S. While I didn't find them as bright as Tawaundabomb talks about, they were a little on the bright side. (maybe the 816 is different)

I think for the money there is better out there.

This question is for Tawaundabomb. What kind of amp and interconnects were you using at the time you owned the Cobalt 816s. For the price range I think they are fantastic speakers if paired with the right equipment.

Well i had some pretty high qaulity stuff with them here is the amps i had with them:Nad 320bbe,Jungson Class A amp,Musical Fidelity 3.2 amp &3.2 preamp,Quicksilver preamp & Monoblocks,Unison Unico with modified Mullard tubes,Ming Da 22 watt intergrated tubeamp with modified GE tubes and Mullards and a Musical Fidelity X-150.Cd players:Musical Fidelity 3.2,X-V3,X-10 tube buffer,X-Dac,X-PSU,Unison cd player with modified Mullard tubes.Speaker wire and interconects,Various Cardus,Audioquest,Zen,and I settled for the Kimber Timbre interconnects and 8TC speakerwire which was the least bright of the bunch,and best at the frequencey extremes,I think thats plenty of gear that should've have worked and I even tried them out on my friends Rogue Zues tube amp and my other friends VTL monoblocks,and they were still bright as hell.

I have the JM lab daline 3.1

same tioxid tweeter I beleive. not bright at all but using all conrad johnson eqpmnt. and CAL front end for cd and linn/koetsu analog. they really sing.

I also owned the 926 which was in a completely different class,and it was easily one of the best speakers I've ever heard up under the 8k mark,The only speaker I've had thats better than the 926,is what i have now the Onix Mini Strata and they cost $1995,close to what the Cobalt 816S cost,but in a different statosphere in performance.I think If you want Focal,the Electra 926 are on one of the best deals on the used market,and many many stetups from the Cobalt 816S and can be had for about new 816's cost new.
