If you dont mind my asking, what exactly do you dislike about the sound of your lousy separates system ? I mean, besides the fact you think they are lousy and take up too much space. In what way is this system failing your Jbls? I ask because you seem to know what your Jbls have in store given the right sort of amplification.
Foxtrot,
improvement sounds good! Sorry to answer your question with another question. You obviously are looking for some answers. While you are waiting for some help to spell out the differences between the 2 mf amps, you might want to check out the archives if you havent already. Not the same, but I know a lot has been written about musical fidelity there and you might come across something helpful until more information arrives via your thread. I think quite a bit has been written about Jbls there too, so there is the chance you might come across amp recommendations not mentioned here yet or considered by you previously. Ive liked the Jbls I have heard and considered them when I was looking to replace my old pioneer speakers, so I will be curious to see what amps you will be looking to for your system.
