Picked the L40s up from Manny (Vinyl) yesterday and had a few hours with them yesterday. Very different presentation from the snells I've been using of late, but like anything il give it a few weeks to get used to them.

Those are one of JBL's best compact speakers. I've heard them many times and found them very good. Should be a decent match to the Jungson.
Thanks Geoff I'm slowly getting accustomed to them, they are growing on me in terms of looks and what they sound like.Quote:

Those were superb speakers, neutral and dynamic, and showed the door to many a far more costly 'high end' contender.
I'd expect the 40 to be (a lot) more accurate than the Snells, but those Snell colourations can be very addictive!
Not an update on my system as such but our living room has undergone a bit of a makeover during the last few weeks. Where previously we had magnolia on textured wallpaper, tired ceiling coving and yellowing skirtings (courtesy of the old couple who owned the place before us) we now have stark white walls and colour feature panels which is way more our taste.
As part of this the TV now finds itself on the new fireplace wall with all cabling routed inside (where they exit at the skirting line they will soon disappear into white trunking leading to my kit stand).
So my speakers now fire across the room rather than down the longer length but in reality it feels much better and the room has really opened up. Tbh the wife initially suggested the new arrangement ages ago but i kept fighting the idea of it. However much as it pains me to admit it [emoji23] its far better now.
Got a few finishing touches to complete (fireplace to tile, gas fire to go back in, blind to fix and pictures to hang etc) but overall the room feels so much bigger now and by the looks of things my listening seat is pretty much perfect[emoji1] https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e9c83ce442.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3cb3fbfb94.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...585eae5ebe.jpg

I like the stands. My lounge stands are 30cm which suits the Yams but they're probably a little low for the JBL which have the tweeter and midrange side by side.
Looks good Ben..Always wanted to fire my speakers longways from the window as you had. Alas you would need a mile of cable, Sure when fire or whatever is in it will be smashing:D
not sure I didnt like the old stands better tho.
