Nah... actually after a long break in period, everything is sounding pretty damn good. I would even venture to say it is now nearfield bliss.

These monitors really are gems. They kick the pants off every other bookie I auditioned for nearfield. Polk, PSB, Monitor Audio, various others made for nearfield and not... These JBL monitors are very impressive... it is no wonder JBL's were the standard in recording studios for so long.

The sound is both accurate but non-fatiguing. I decided to wire them out of phase and place them facing each other so I could blast them and really get the new woofers broken in. I turned off the tone defeat on my NAD integrated so I could turn the bass up even more. After a bunch of hours of this, these speakers sound better than I would have ever imagined.

My amp seems to be a good match, actually. There is no shortage of power, and with a few tweaks, it is certainly articulate enough for me.

I actually find my old NAD/PSB combo to be a little dark, or at least a little boring, but the NAD with these little studio monitors is pretty damn musical, and I find the urge to find a permanent spot in the closet for the PSBs. I am dusting off albums I haven't listened to in a while because they are so much fun on these little guys.

Anyway, Appreciate the help... My next step is considering crossover modifications... with parts 15 years old or more, I am sure I could breathe even more life by replacing old caps, but I know little about that kind of stuff.
