I have been listening to a pair of JBL c-34's. I really didn't expect much but what I found is a lovely midrange that has great palpability. A dear friend is a reviewer for one of the largest online EZINEs. I get to listen to a lot of gear because manufacturers are constantly sending him new items to listen to. Anyway, to make a long story short I get the opportunity to listen to the c-34's and they sound great!! Ok they don't do everything perfectly but they really serve the music well. I could nit pick them but would rather listen to them. I can't say that with much of the high end gear that rolls into my friend's house! IMHO we really haven't progressed much in 60 years! Any other observations on this?
