| A decent integrated amp under 2K ... @alaindexe, Hi, Al: Yes! The JBL 4435’s are amazing speakers, they have great bass and transient response and very low distortion and have a better low midrange then the 4430’s which I previously owned. The 4430 and 4435 are very coherent speake... | |
| How to tame a bright system? @snarfie23, If you know that all music that we are listening to is mastered in a control rooms that has invested lots of money (sometimes in a ratio of 20% gear an 80% room treatment) in threating their rooms than it is IMO a no brainer were you... | |
| How to tame a bright system? The cliche is true: the room is 50% of your system. Maybe more. Agreed! | |

| A decent integrated amp under 2K ... @alaindexe, Sorry for the confusion: Ok, Efficiency and sensitivity are not the same. My speakers are JBL 4435 monitors and have a sensitivity of 96 dB SPL @ 1 watt @ 1 meter @ 8 Ohm their efficiency is 2.7%. See the JBL manual below specificati... | |
