Audiolabyrinth, good luck on your trip. And regarding the Everests; if you can afford them why not get them? Life's too short!

Well, there you go, lol. The choice is obvious! :D

Again, I find that the high end JBL horns don't have the typical horn colorations. They're not shouty, spitty, or megaphone-like. It's probably due to that Sonoglass material they use, as well as the overall engineering. When mated with the compre...

You're welcome, Audiolabyrinth. Good luck! And happy listening!

No problem! Sounds good about your amp. From what you're saying, it should work quite well. When you audition, take your amp with you, or better yet, get a home audition if possible. 
Pass x250.5 or Bryston 14BsstĀ² ?
I would agree with that for the most part.

To be honest with you, I haven't heard the K2s with Krell. Just the Mark Levinson that Harman uses at the shows. I don't think it would be forward sounding, but you never know. You know the characteristics of your amp better than I do...Sorry I co... 
Neutral or warm? Which do you prefer?
Neutral.

Hi Kiddman,Yeah, I mean working better in a small or medium room than a large room.No problem if you haven't heard 'em. You might want to just for the Hell of it. 
Pass x250.5 or Bryston 14BsstĀ² ?
Yeah, kind of a tough call. The 14Bsst2 is one of Bryston's best and the Pass Labs is superb all the way around. It's ultimately your choice.

Hi Audiolabyrinth,That's one Hell of a deal on the Everests. And yeah, at that price, you might as well forget the K2s. Are the Everests new, demo, or used? Just curious. Anyway, I would go for it! Good luck!

Hi Kiddman,Thanks for letting me know about the performance in large rooms. I take it the S4700s would probably be better in a medium to smaller size room too, true?As far as JBLs and amps, I found that Class A solid state like Pass Labs and Accup...

Hi Kiddmann,Thanks for your comments. I hate being corrected. lol. I never would have guessed that, conventional wisdom being what it is. However, wouldn't the Everests benefit from being in a big room though? I can't see how they wouldn't... 
Krell or Bryston 4SST2
Cool, that's a nice little vintage amp.

You're welcome! Krell is good stuff and should drive any of the JBLs you're looking at without a problem.As for the room, I'd say a minimum of 20 x 25 x 9 give or take. Since the Everests are a wide speaker they need a wider room. So, I would say ...
