as I picked up a set of JBL 6604s a few months back and have been surprised at how good they sound driven straight from a Presonus Firepod connected to my laptop. These are bi-amped, selfpowered nearfield monitors a bit older than the current line you're looking at.

I've also heard the JBL LSR series from the past 10 years as well as having older passive (and Massive) studio monitors from UREI and JBL. The biggest difference is in the dynamic range, IMHO. The older large-format monitors can be driven with little power. The newer ones have the imaging, though.

So, the answer is....it depends....on your specific requirements, I suppose.

My preferences are for the large format speakers since I can accomodate them in the room I have. The small monitors are great, though, for taking out on mobile recording dates so that I can play back instantly for the band with some authority as to what they sound like. Can't do that with the big boys.....

Hope that helps even though its a vague answer.

Cheers,

David
