As do I. I'm a laymen compared to the regulars here but I've got a pair of LX44's that I really enjoy. Now, those are certainly far less spendy than other options suggested but for what I paid and their size, they're a damn fine speaker. They're responsible for my downward slope into rekindling my love affair with music and gear. Long story short of it is that I feel they're almost as good as L150A's and better than Klipsch Cornwalls I recently picked up. Now, they tend to exaggerate midbass but with a decent equalizer and a subwoofer to cover the lows, you won't be disappointed. What makes those things shine to me is their ability to sound great at any volume and reproduce nuances & detail that in turn make the music sound life-like, as if the band is performing right in front of you. At lower volumes, that detail is even better. They're very easy on the ears at higher volumes too.

Somewhere someone said patience is a virtue...….a virtue I don't have.

It seems finding these great JBL's is a full time passion

Down the road Ill get a pair, but for now my new set of doors will have to suffice
