I'm thinking perhaps there should be a new word, for what it is, that many of us JBL fans are in to, using all that pro-stuff.
I mean, we have the PA crowd, the HiFi audiophiles and the HT buffs and I don't really feel quite comfortable with any of those tags.
It seems to me, the raw earth shattering power of a PA system, is rarely desirable, nor practical to put in a home, unless you've got plenty of room and don't give a rats *** about what any one else thinks.
The audiophile scene, seems to have been agreeing on a set of norms, far, far away from where I stand and which IMO still does not even come close to what we JBL fans are used to, even though, most of that audiophile crap, many times cost more than a Porsche, apart from being mediocre in some respect and not to forget,also coming with a lot of snake oil as well.
Then we have those HT folks, who build their sound-system around their TV, or projector, where it apparently is quite important to have a stack of subwoofers, capable of putting out plenty of SPL down to about 16Hz.
So, what is it I can and cannot have with the stuff I've got and could this be given a name that better describes what I'm into.
For instance, what is it, that a stack of subwoofers can give me, that a pair of 2235' could not give me, in a regular music room, playing at levels that won't upset the nabors too much, too often and if I mainly listen to music that already gives me all the punch I can take and already has got that explosive live feeling, from the snare drums and what ever?
So, whatshumacallit, that thing that we do?
