    Did you catch my previous post, Greg? I'd like to see a nice pic of BOTH of your lovely JBLs in situ, with grilles off, rather than just one. Could you oblige?

    Looks good. Getting a slight ''Kenrick Sound'' vibe looking at those speakers.

    I heard speakers like this in the 70's, Tottenham Court Road, playing Dark Side of the Moon, it was memorable.
