I'll try not to make it a long story but...
I have a pair of JBL L-65's with some HK equipment in the house. Have had L-100's as well.
I have a 2000 sq ft pole barn for car restoration with a McIntosh MC 60 amp and some tired Bozak speakers from the early 60's. The Bozaks are as big as a small refrigerator. They are so 'unidirectional' you have to be right in front of them to appreciate the one speaker that is still working fairly well. I would like to move up to some JBL's for the shop as I am able to spend more and more time out there. I don't mind spending the $ but want to get something that does a good job in the large space with the relatively small amp generally with an FM receiver playing. Any thoughts on what JBL's I should seek out?
