Is JM Lab 927 BE better than Electra 936?

Hi,

I have a pair of Electra 936 which I like. I then bought a pair of JM Lab Electra 1027 BE which I love. The BE tweeter sound better than the Electra 936 using Cary Signature SLI-80 Int Amp. Now I have a chance to buy a 8/10 pair of Electra 927 BE for $2600. Should I replace the Electra 936 with the Elcectra 927 BE Anniversary Edition?

Thank you for your advice,

Paven

I had the 927's. I traded them in and got the 1027's. The 927's sounded very good for HT. I liked them allot and I would still have them but the deal I was offered was to good to pass up. I would go for the 927's. The mids and highs are just fantastic.

According to me, as a true JM Lab fan (I have had 22 models..) the 927 BE sounds a little bit "better" than the 1027 BE. A bit more "punchy", the 927BE has also much personality than the 1027BE. On the other hand, the 1027BE is easier to be driven by tube amps for instance. They are not so reluctant as the 927BE

I have 927BEs and love the sound. Have them paired with a McIntosh 2002 200 watt amp...Superb dynamics, highs and midrange..As well as plenty of bass punch for my 11 X 14 listening room
