Hello !

I currently have JBL LS40 and LS center as front speakers and I really like them, but Im a bit curious in the older JBL speakers and would like some tips on what to look for, I would like two fronts and a center.
I want two floorstander that wont tip over easily, because of small children playing around.

I got an Onkyo 1007 and Rotel 1077 amp driving the LS-system.

I like a warm sound and not too hard harsh tweeters.

What should I look for ?

I live in Sweden so ebay.com aint an option because of shipping costs.

Thanks in advance.

Horns and 15''s are the proud of JBL,now that you find this forum,do some rearch.

Thanks in advance.I haven't heard the LS40s, but when the LS Series was first introduced here in the US I brought home a pair of LS80s and thought they were a very good value offering a taste of the new high end JBLs at a much more affordable price point. I don't think you will find vintage JBLs that are superior without spending a ton on them and then massaging them a bit.

A pair of LS80 or LS60 dont tip over so easy as my LS40 on stands do so thats an idea.

Thanks for the advice.
