    Wideband pink noise played beyond 0db for a few minutes should fry the loudspeakers!

    Alternately you could try War of the Worlds (2005) that will give the JBL a workout!

    Maybe a touch too loud on the volume level! It was loud on JBL 4675-A at the local cinema in Dolby digital.

    I can’t understand how you destroyed them yet my smaller plastic JBL control 5, have withstand it at sensible levels.

    The D-5 have higher sen a lower frequency response handling power is just a little different. So did it bust the bass mid in or the whole 3-way itself?

    You should the bill to Richard King who do the mix on the film and tell him you own me some D-5!

    I think films should carry a warning sticker cautioning the user to play a softer level.

    i think i had the a touch too loud at the time. i was a bit young at the time and i think the surrounds on the woofers were a bit fragile. i got given them for free, so i didnt mind at the time as i had a pair of marantz speakers before i started the search of the jbls

    as you can see in the pics, that the surrounds didnt seem to enjoy the movie music, they were still pliable, but i think they were starting to disintegrate from too much bass

    i found that they sounded a bit too harsh for my ears anyhow so i ended up giving them to someone else to play around with

    No, I guess they didn’t like it. I might re-listen to WOTW sometime again week.

    Why not re-foam them and sale them on or simply keep them. I guess they might be bright in middle range if looked at on an RTA.

    Dusty Springfield

    I was pleasantly shocked that she still excelled at a song that had no dynamics whatsoever. I remember her for, among other qualities, her god almighty strong voice.

    I confess I always liked this song.

    Maria Pia De Vito

    My favorite singer. I listen to her sing Jazz, but as you can see she does a lot of World Music influenced stuff. I have discovered one of the reasons she has such incredible vocal range and control. Her speaking voice is very deep and powerful, most unusual for a very feminine woman. She can go very low into the vocal range in addition to having no difficulty with high notes.

    Still not Jazz, but something totally different from her.

    Ah, here is some Jazz.

    If you want words, in English...from her magnificent So Right, a disc of mostly Joni Mitchel covers nothing like Herbie Hancock's.

    One More, her sounding completely American - like if Diana Krall had a much better voice.

    I like the rhythm beat of this late 80’s song for Scandal (1989)

    My Favorite British Eighties Pop Songs

    Nik Kershaw, 1984 and still has it in 2008...

    Crowded House, not the cool (Very) original video but this one sounds much better.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Adi1T5BxvJ8

    Skip to the 1990s, great sounding but worthless video; the original, which I cannot find, is my favorite music video of all time. New Order, from Republic, "Regret"

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCPhfyBurmA

    Best for last. This group was the reason why I do not think the Stones are the greatest rock and roll band. This outfit was labeled, on a website now gone, The World's Greatest Band. I agree. As far as I am concerned, they swept aside what came before, and everything since has been less talented and usually too polite and commercial. Lots of bands I love, but none as good.The only exceptions I can think of to any of that criteria are Santana, Neil Young and, preceding them, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac.

    My two favorite ballads of theirs, live, and the first song I would play if I had a radio show. Sorry the volume varies so much.

    Of course I am probably full of crap, but this is how I see it. That and a buck and a half will get you on the subway.
