JBL Olmpus speaker system


I recently obtained a JBL Olmpus speaker system (S7R). They are a pair of great speakers for pop music. I feel for classic music, the mid-range frequency sounds a little "hard" (distorsion?). Is there anybody has excperience on the issue. should they be better if I replace LE85 with 375 and add 075. another words, should s8R be better for classic music. I appreciate if anybody could comment on this.

Gorg, the Olympus is a wonderful speaker and very well suited to classical music. Linnlp12 is correct about the amplification, you need a good triode SET to get the best from this speaker. Most push/pulls will sound too hot in the mids and solid state shouldn't even be in the same room as your babies! The S8 has the same requirments.

Elizabeth also has a point, you need to check your speakers and make sure that everything is still working fine, after all they're over 40 years old.
