JBL 4663 Enclosures with Sansui 9090DB Receiver

[cykotic]

I have an opportunity to purchase a set of JBL 4663 Enclosures loaded with
JBL E-140 15” Woofers
JBL 2461 HF Compression Driver’s with JBL 2345 Horns
JBL 2405 HF Super Tweeters
JBL 3110 & 3106 Crossovers
I was wondering how these would sound in my family room hooked up to a recently restored Sansui 9090DB? I realize these enclosures are essentially for live band performances but was wondering if I could rock the house with these as well, and how the clarity of these enclosures measure up to regular home stereo speakers. Any advice would be appreciated as I am rather uninformed about these particular speakers.
Thanks much,
Cykotic

Personally I think they would be stellar.

Thanks, Uncle Paul! I've been told via another forum that they would not have much bass below 150 Hz but that that problem could be resolved with an equalizer. I find this odd since JBL lists the E-140's at 40 - 2500 Hz. Regardless, I think they might sound stellar as well. I think I may just pick these JBL's up.
Thanks again!

It's the cabinet they're in that is the limiting factor for bass. The enclosure was designed for high efficiency in PA applications. Get a sub woofer and cross them about 70-100 hz. Also, the Sansui will be massive overkill in the power department. Not saying that's bad - just over kill.

Cheers,
