I am in China, also bad English.
Did you compare the woofer between B&W and JBL? What's the difference?
And what kind of woofer it was? I mean is it a Close box, or vented box?
I am not clearly acquainted with those HIfi system.
And I need all of you friends to help me.
Thanks~

Both B&W Signature 800's and L250's.

I can not say that this would be a fair test as the JBL's are 25 years old and speaker technology has come a long way for cone type drivers. Crossover components have changed as well. I like the mid and high's of my B&W's but I like the LF better on my JBL's, That said the JBL's sound great for thier age and I have always wanted a pair. I love the old JBL sound and so I will never get rid of them. I also like the detail of my B&W's so I will keep them too.
Hope this helps.

I currently have have a pair of mint B&W 801 Matrix Series 3 speakers and will be comparing these to a very soon to be acquired pair of JBL XPL-200 speakers mated with a pair of DX-1 crossovers.

I'm expecting a great shooutout as the 801's have excellent tight low bass extensions and can't wait to see how they compare with 200's. Having the DX-1's will be a bonus and maybe an unfair advantage over the 801's.

Once I get them I'll keep you all informed of my findings.

Cheers
Pasadena.
