I listen to JBL L100s I purchased in 1975. I have upgraded the crossover to the Troels Graveson diy design. They sound fantastic, better than new. I recently bought a pair of ATC SCM19s for a small listening space because the JBLs were too big. They both sound excellent. The ATCs have a little more detail and a little less bass, perfect for my listening area. The JBLs fill the living room with their lush sound such that they sound good in the kitchen.

With the new crossover in the JBLs, in an area where both pair could play as well as they are able, the JBLs would give the ATCs a run for their money.
