ok, i talked to a tech at harman luxury group, and basically, i'm getting a more powerful amp for the s4700s per his rec. apparently, they can handle up to 600 wpc or more and that it would sound better in his opinion...so right now i'm looking into a bryston 14b3, which is a beast of an amp...see the measurements and review below...

anyway,i'm not selling anytime soon...and i suppose i'll try a new amp, but if the sound is still lackluster, then they gotta go...sorry to make this thread; i am delusional and i thought these 4312ds would be the ticket to audio bliss...all i'm trying to do is get excellent sound, and what i'm getting well, it could be better, but i can't afford the everests! lol. so, thanks for all of your kind words here. i know i'm a pain in the derriere because of my whining about the s4700s, but i just want to be satisfied or satiated so to speak..i want real kick ass sound that makes jump outta my seat and causes me to forget my problems which there are many (long story) that is why i thought i'd try jbl, because of it's history, world class r and d, the promise of studio quality sound, and what have you...i don't like the whole hecho en mexico thing, but the speakers are actually built real good..i was surprised at this...
well, that's basically it, i just wanted to lay it all out..i look forward to your comments regarding this...i'm just an ocd delusional audiophile who most people think is chasing something that doesn't exist...everyone wants a high, and music and audio is my drug..not dope, tobacco, and alcohol...i wish more people would see this, but alas they don't...
