I am using JBL L100 Classic speakers in my office system. They are on the dedicated stands, and I am driving them with a McIntosh Integrated amp. The sound was very good. Then I added a single SVS sub, and the sound went from very good to amazing. They are not like the JBL’s of the 60-70’s, which were very bright on top but with a deep bottom end. The new versions do not seem to go as low in the bass as the originals, but the mids and highs are much better. You may or may not need a sub but in my large room, the bass was thin without them.
Speaker upgrade
Good morning all, hope everyone is well.
My planned HIFI change for 2023 is a change in loudspeakers. My top contenders are JBL L100, Klipsch Forte IV or Corwall IV’s, another couple I am very interested in are the Volit Razz, and possibly the Paradigm F80.
System consists of Rogue RP-1, Rogue Atlas Mag III, Line Magnetic CD-24, MOFI Master deck and Master tracker.
Room is an untreated living room 15x15, hardwood with thick throw rug and lightly furnished.
I have listened to the Klipsch and the Paradigm, enjoyed them both. They are different animals as one would imagine.
I listen to mostly Jazz, Rock and "American Roots" (not modern country).
Thoughts and suggestions appreciated.
