JBL everest?

They’re in the ‘old school’ JBL camp, designed by Greg Timbers who did a number of iconic big JBL designs over the years.  

I havent had a chance to hear them, but I’d like to.  

From on my understanding the ‘new school’ JBL pro designs measure and perform better on all of the quantitative data, with the JBL M2s having all of the SPL capability of the Everest but with smoother on and off-axis response and deeper bass extension, all for considerably less money (even including the required Crown DSP amps). 

The Everests sure look pretty though.

Music Direct had the new L100 Classics set up in their room at AXPONA.  They have a warm tonality, aren't incredibly detail-focused, throw a wide if somewhat indefinite soundstage, and have fat punchy midbass.  

They sounded pleasant, but not my cup of tea.  They're be excellent classic rock speakers though, good for making bad old recordings sound good and not exposing their faults.  That's probably the demo they're going for, Boomers with nostalgia who like to crank the Led Zeppelin and Stones.
