Have been offered a pair of JBL ES100. 4 way contruction, dual 10" woofers. I see online these weres introduced in 2010, and are currently discontinued. But the pair I have been offered are brand new unopened in original boxes because the guy selling them bought them (and some other stuff) from a bankruptcy audio shop.
My setup is as in signature, and I have been thinking about changing my old Cerwin Vega's for some time. But going down the dual 6,5" to 8" woofer lane which most towers typically from B&W/Dali and so on have I know I will never get the bass I have now from my 12" Vegas.
But the ES100 with double 10" woofers might be up for the task, at the same time as giving me a more "audiophile" upgrade in the mid and tweeter earea compared to the old Vegas? Or what you guy's think? I found a review of the JBL's where they claim they could reproduce the Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture credible. Other key words from the review; "balanced sound, lightning fast bass, can play loud, nice on acoustic music".
The problem is that I can't listen to these before buying. So any feedback would be appreciated.
