Lanchile,
I was a relatively early purchaser of the JSE 2 and became friendly with the designer who updated it to what was known as the JSE 2a for me. I did a lot of research at the time and the JSE 1 preceded the JSE 2. The JSE 2 was a five speaker 4 way design that used exactly the same kind of 2 speaker bass configuration as the JSE 1. To my knowledge there were two other JSE speakers made in addition to the 1 and 2.
I recently replaced the JSE 2 speakers with VS 4jr speakers and I am very happy with the result. If you think the JSE 1 sounds fantastic, what more is there to add?
The only other thing I can tell you is that the 1" tweeter of the JSE 1 is a Dynaudio D 28 and the other two speakers could have been sourced from Madisound at the time and for many years thereafter. Now? I don't know.
JSE stands for John Solecito Engineering. John now has a different speaker company.
The first reviews of these speakers appeared in the Sensible Sound. The JSE 2a was reviewed in TAS by Mike Kuller.
