JBL Monitors?

I received a post back on a rec.audio question I had recommending JBL 4408's or 4410's as a less expensive alternative to B&W CDM 1NT's. As it turns out, this guy has TONS of posts out their with the same guidance every time - JBL, Tannoy, Ascend Acoustics... Since nobody else seems to be saying the same thing (and I've never listened to these), I'm quite dubious. It warrants a more critical look, though, so, has anyone heard these JBL Studio Monitors. If so, what are your thoughts?
