Now those are VERY impressive. 265 lbs apiece! That's what I call a speaker. How is the bass with those? Do you use the JBL crossover and card system, or do you have multiple amps?
Thanks, no JBL active crossover. I'm getting by with a Crown VFX-2. A pretty common unit, but it gets the basic job done. They are set up to be biamped, you couldn't run them with a single amp if you wanted to. 290 hz and below go to the two woofers. The treble amp goes to an internal xover and is split 3 ways.
Honestly, my room isn't big enough for it. Yes, I can ripple the floorboards but that isn't what good listening is all about.
I find that I get more satisfaction from the comparativeyl puny XPL-200s. They're detailed as hell. Last night I put on a Rolling Stones compilation During "Angie" I thought I heard my dog whining outside. It turned out to be Keith or Ron sliding his hands on the guitar neck.
The only reason I have those 4355s is sheer dumb luck. I'm not wealthy or connected to the music industry in any way. I had to run to the computer for information before I even knew what the guy was offering me.
