Zako, you might enjoy the thread about the evils of hysteresis induced by output transformers, where the (so-called)absence of output transformers is supposed to be the "solution".  In any case, your posts remind me of this gambit, more than a little.

Who knows, maybe you're actually on to a good new "product"; but one wouldn't know it from your posts about the Be, the "perfect piston", the "coherent wave phase plugtm", etc, which sounds just like all the other advertisements.  Basically, they are selecting or inventing the "problems" and the "solutions", both, and none of this is news, in and of itself. All this has been said before, and I'm still waiting to hear a Be tweeter that does not induce headaches.

Maybe you are ready to improve your own system and you hope you will be able to get what you want by buying and plugging in a pair of these new JBL speakers.  I certainly wish you all the luck in this, and I would love to gravytrain on your experience.  But I have no idea what you do or don't like about the SOUND you are getting now or what you hope to "step up" to, or why.  If there is anything interesting about these new speakers, it will be the SOUND they make, along with how easy they are to make sound good.  What do you like about these speakers, other than the specs you have repeated so far?  Why do you believe these speakers would do especially well - sonically - in a large room like Romy's?

Best regards,
Paul S
