You're right. I can't hear what you're referring to.
I have done some comparing, and for now I'm listening to the JBL's a lot more then the 3's, which is surprising to me given what a huge AR enthusiast I've been over the years. I still love them, but the JBL's aren't as brash or difficult to listen to as I fully expected them to be. I still chalk it up to what's going into them...perhaps a lesser amp might deliver a sound that was more grating. I don't know.

And what I hear is not *grating* - just unnatural in its presentation. Some instruments are rendered like fun mirrors.

I'm not suggesting that what you're referring to is a grating sound. I was talking about what OTHER issues OTHER folks have had with these speakers, one of them being the overly bright tweeter. I was suggesting that a decent amp might be helping with the overall quality that I'm getting into my ears.
I understand what you hear, even though I can't hear it. Or maybe I can hear it, but don't realize it. That picture is fun, and I'll give you that I have never seen or heard anybody describe what they hear using that comparison. It bears no recognizable resemblance whatsoever to what I am hearing, but it's fun nonetheless.
In any event, time to move on. Appreciate your input.

Many JBLs like the 4311 do exhibit the boom-sizzle "West Coast" sound but I find the brightness has to do with the lower treble. Other models like the L110 are quite neutral in response if not possessing the directivity challenge.
Enjoy the ride!
