JBL everest?

@chrisr 

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.  

2-3 years ago I began the search for my own "best ever" speaker.  I listened to a god selection, including Wilson (various models), b&w, etc.  I flew to Colorado to listen back to back m2, revel salon 2, jbl k2, Everest 6700 and 6600 at one of the few dealers that stocks the range (I live on the east coast). Bottom line....I thought the Everest 6700 were the greatest sound I had ever heard - and bought a set (maple finish, black grills).  

In retrospect, after listening for a considerable period of time, and dialing them in at my home..... I still think they are my " best ever " speaker.  I thought the revel salons were good...but as my non-audiophile girlfriend said (she flew to Denver with me), the revels are great.....but the sound seems to just "fall out" of the Everest instead of being forced out.  Hands down she picked the Everest. 

Would buy them all over again

something little discussion! when they discuss the amplifier for 1K and some wire for 300 dollars, hundreds of participants! Where are you, owners of JBL Everest, boulders  amp and monoblocks Mark  Levinson! We ask you on the stage!ведите текст ...

Evidently the high rollers who purchase the big bucks stuff don't feel the neurotic compulsion to publicly discuss their purchases!
