Im sure they are less elsewhere but are they really the same?

Well new from Cruthfield they are 2k so i guess its a bargin.

I am very jbl ignorant, i've been looking at them and know there are lots out there. I have only listened to a set of l100 but i don't even know the specifics about that set except they were expensive. I am just starting the kmowledge journey on jbl speakers. The 4300 models and l100 are very appealing to me but not sure why l100 are considered bookshelf.

Thank You everyone. The KG1.2 and 1.5 and the JBL 4301's are what I want to check out.

I agree. I want to find some smaller speakers that will sound good with this amp.

Hi all I just aquired my first Marantz, a 2252B. For opinion purposes, how does anyone feel about driving either jbl type studio monitors or book shelf speakers with thus amp. Is this too much amp? I have a small living room and would like to run smaller speakers and use my Heresy's in my music room where i havemore space. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

Depends on what you need to do. Are you converting my to way or the other direction? Either way Audacity will do it but you will have to get plugins such as lame but that's easy to do and audacity WI'll point you where you need to go

I have a place in Ann Arbor that has the RP-160's in stock so I'll have to give them a listen this weekend.

I'll give you a call in a bit Roger.

I am finding plenty on Ebay but no one wants to ship, and I don't blame them. so what is meant by the extended heritage series? Budget wise, I am prepared to buy new Heresy's but the more money I save the more stuff I buy. I listened to the Heresy's, and they passed the girlfriend check, meaning they can go in "her" living room. One other thing, would a sub be necessary?

I am in Michigan close to Ann Arbor and Lansing. Detroit is about an hour and a half away and Grand Rapids is two.

Hello Everyone, This is my first post as I just joined the forums today. The reason I am posting is that I have decided to buy a vintage Marantz receiver and I need to get the "right" pair of speakers for this. I will use this amp just for listening to music, cd's, vinyl, and, use my iPod as a source. When I went shopping for an amp, the salesman paired a Marantz 2245 with an older set of Heresy speakers, they looked like II's. It was the first time I have every really heard such detail and clarity, so naturally I want a pair. The demo song was Dave Brubeck, "Take five", and I was amazed that I could actually hear George Morrello's stick hit the ride cymbal. I am fully prepared to get a pair of Heresy's, new or used but I thought I would see if anyone could share an expert opinion on what speaker would be a better match for a vintage solid state receiver. The system will be in a carpeted room with finished drywall ceilings and walls. I would say its a small to medium sized room. I have not bought the receiver yet, it could be a 222x,3x, or 4x all three would be more than adequate. So I guess my question would be is the Heresy too much, or not enough. I listened to an R-26 and R-28 at my local ABC Warehouse but they only had one speaker each so i don't want to judge the sound of that until I can find a place that will actually let me hear the speakers. Also, are there any bookshelf speakers that would also get the job done? Any help or guidance would greatly be appreciated.
