JBL 4311 vs B&W DM2. Opinions.

Something wrong with my English ?

If you check the spec sheet on JBL web site you will see the speaker is bright and then roll off rapidly around 13,500 Hz. The bass has a peak and is starting disappear at or above 50 HZ. There is a significant dip in the lower midrange. The B&W is a much smoother speaker with a better high end for sure and better balance through out its range. THe JBL will play a little louder with the same power. The question is are you after quality or quantity?.

 

[giv5.26]

Quality I suppose. Will B&W play rock well?

Maybe I am wrong but I cannot understand one thing - it seems all of you rate B&W as JBL. But I think JBL's have more quality speakers. I mean woofer and midrange - AlNiCo, paper and so on...

B&W makes some very nice drivers, too.

I think Terry DeWick's partner Tom Manley sells all types of Mac face plates and gear itself. I bought my JVC QL-A200 tt from him and there is a whole list under Mac items (home page) for sale. I believe he is trying to unload the store.

No, but your location may have bearing on what other speakers might be available . . . unless these two are your only choices.

I've been monitoring that site for two month. MC2105' glass is still out of stock.

I've had both,I like the JBL better, and the LE-25 paper tweeters is one of my all time favs.

I've already tested B&W! You were right. I got less problems with B&W. No problem with boomy bass and I can put them on any place in my room. No sharp midrange. Bass deep. So I can say these speakers are more comfortable for me. Lack of dynamic but I can live with it. And another point - I have never thought that type of bass speaker can sound well. BUT - THEY ARE UUUUGLY! Thank you for the answers!
