Yeah, both the JBLs and Tannoys have their respective strengths, which they portray very well, and in that respect I agree with your summary.
It was a very interesting and useful demo for me, which helped crystallize my preferences, in case at some point in future I decide to try something different from the Lockwoods, and in that respect, some form of big JBLs would always be in the equation :)
As an aside, didn't you make a clone version of Everests, or such like, with twin 15" drivers? I seem to recall you did, and played Ian "Madame Medusa', by UB40, which rearranged his intestines to such a degree, that they've never been the same since!!:D
On your 'JBL travels', as it were, have you ever encountered the Hartsfields? These are from 1955, and tick the retro box for me, big time, as well as sounding superb:
Even on crappy computer speakers, I can almost feel the bass!! Must watch that video through the home-cinema system:D
Check both vids out, as it shows they can 'boogie', as well as sounding shockingly real! :eek::eek:
Marco.
Marco, do you happen to know the music in the second clip? I really dig it!

Sorry David, I'm not sure. Could be some Dizzy Gillespie :)
I'd copy the link to the clip and ask in the music room.
