RE: JBL Loft 50 or Paradigm Monitor 7

Posted by Mr Peabody on July 5, 2017 at 11:39:40:
The real deal in JBL is the Synthesis line which uses mostly their Pro drivers. Maybe see if any good deals on LS60 or 80. IMO the'd be better than the Paradigm. I heard and HT system with a Cambridge receiver and all LS speakers, it was really impressive.

I have not heard the Loft series, my guess, the Loft would be more of a flat response with emphasis on the midbass, where the 7's the tweeter or higher end would be emphasized.

A friend of mine had the 7's and replace the tweeter to get a more balanced sound. His were several years old though. If you've heard the 7's and like them, that's a sure bet. However, you could buy the JBL from some place online that would allow a return if not happy, then you'd knowfor sure.

Keep in mind any speaker out of the box will require some break in time to sound the way it should.
