Basically. See if you can get a good deal first, and go listen to them as well. You're welcome, and I appreciate that... 
Does JBL get a bad rap?
Good question. I haven't heard both side by side, so I can't give you a definite answer on that one. Just going by memory, however, the Everest is more dynamic, transparent, and more authoritative than the K2s. The K2s are no slouch, but I believe...

My condolences. *sigh* Live life to the fullest, and that includes indulging in high end audio, because you never know when your number is up, or in your case someone you loved and cared about...

Well, as far as the horns in the latest models are concerned, the horns use a material call Sonoglass. Which is a very inert compound. This translates to getting the power and realism from the horns and compression drivers without the squawk, blat...
