| Comparing the JB 4367 to JBL 4349 @acresverde my thoughts exactly. 55 barely above a whisper. | |
| How close are you to being to your endgame? My system outline and I'm almost there. PS- @aj1735 Very nice system OP! | |
| How close are you to being to your endgame? My system outline and I'm almost there. Have had multiple versions of 2-channel systems since 1975. 100% satisfied with my current system. Endgame system? I'm there. | |
