Jeff-
there has never been a better time to get into Speakers.
I spent the last 5 years trying to narrow down my reference, Thiel CS 2.4SE. I auditioned many, many models at as many dealers/retailers.
The key is to get out there (road trip) and listen, listen, listen.
The forums and Audio press are helpful, but, only after you have upheld your end. Take your fave music w/ you!

I'm not looking for speakers, I just was intrigued by the JBLs. I read Walberg's newsletters and for a guy who produces audiophile recordings he is really down on audiophile products. The JBLs are $20,000 speakers, the theory would be if they are so accurate they should bring us the closest to what they are hearing in the studio. I don't really believe that would be the case. But I was interested in what John and others thought.
My system is set for now, due to lack of funds. But if I was able to, first I would upgrade amps, then a Directstream. Speakers would be down the list, and I am pretty sure it would be either Legacy Aeris or Vandersteen Model 5s. I like the idea of powered subs, although I am not sure about the Aeris having AD-DA conversion. I'd have to do some serious listening. It would take a miracle for me to actually be able to afford any serious upgrades any time soon.
Jeff - a very nice and cordial inquiry.
I'm not sure what JBL speakers you're talking about, but the M2 is discounted to about $3,000 per pair at Guitar Center.
More reply soon.
:)
I think these are the speakers Waldrep is referring to, see link.
