“What are more current thoughts on the everest... 3 years later?”
I’ve owned the 67k for about four years and I couldn’t be happier with them. I auditioned dozens of big names and found a couple that imaged about as well and handled some sorts of music about as well, but none could even approach the level of ease that the JBLs bring to large scale orchestral music, Bach organ concerti, percussion, and big-dynamic rock. They are simply relaxed with those things, but then I can put Stan Getz vinyl on the turntable and he appears in the room, complete with the delicate details of his sax’s reed. My next project is to put an Elekit TU8600s SET on them to see if 96 db efficiency will allow them to perform well on small ensembles of various sorts.
At a lower price point, the Project Array 1400 has a lot of the same qualities but with more limited dynamics, but not as limited as most of the Everests’ competition.
