2213 + 2435HPL w/aquaplas + H9800 (Matsj edition)
Our placement options were limited for our subjective demos- all speakers we tried had to be placed near the center of the demo room.
Unfortunately there were no K2s present to audition. Others we tried were the McIntosh XR 100 which we really liked and a Klipsch member from the RS line (I forget the model #).
I heard both of these models at home audio sound in Brighton, CO. The 4700 had fuller bass than the 3900. However, both produced high quality sound. My question when auditioning speakers at different price points is - which offers the best sound for the money? I like the sound of both, for different reasons. I would pick the one you feel fits your needs.
I've heard the magico Q7 sound both outstanding and not so hot on two different occasions. Are they an excellent speaker? Without question. Are they 185k/pair excellent? As always, that is up to the individual.
I think the 4700s are excellent too, especially what you can get a new pair for at home audio sound. If you like a little more bottom end, they will make you happier than the 3900. The imaging on the 3900s might be slightly better though.
It is good to see JBL offering high quality home speakers again. Relax and enjoy!
I heard them all. Like I said previously, K2s are better. But you already bought the 4700s.
Why could you not buy from home audio sound in CO, if you don't live there? I live in so cal. And it is where I will buy.
Sounds like you aren't content with your 4700s....
Ok, cool. Yeah, true, but that doesn't mean I'm ruling out buying the K2s in the future.
I dunno, I was wondering if he would sell to someone even if they had a local dealer. I see that he does with you, so thanks for answering my question.
I definitely wasn't for quite a while. I am now for the most part. What I mean by the most part is not 100 percent. But really, what audiophile is 100 percent happy with their system? There's always something that can be improved upon.

The most important thing for a HIFI system is matching,not only about how expensive machine you use,how powerful machine you use.
We usually spend a lot of time to select gear to match our system,including CD player,amp,cable,stand,it is also the big fun of audiophiles.
I do not mean McIntosh is not good,i just say it is may not suitabe in the system
BTW,McIntosh never made in China
