I began to do my research to move further in that direction. It does make sense that pro cinema speakers would sound good with movies and music, since soundtrack and dialogue are crucial to the movie experience. I couldn’t quite find the one speaker that I felt would give me everything, so went about creating it from JBL’s pro cinema line. At the end, it is a three way active pair of speakers, using JBL’s 1.5 inch compression driver in a horn, two 15 inch woofers in the top cabinet, and an 18 inch woofer in the bottom cabinet. In putting it all together, this got the closest to a live sound I have ever heard. It was still missing a bit of refinement, so added 4 inch beryllium diaphragms to the compression drivers. They have an efficiency of around 103db/w that easily goes down to 24hz. It has scale, dynamics, and that pressure you get in your chest from live music, four 15 in woofers will do that. Sound stage and imaging, texture and tone are realistic. The imaging doesn’t feel forced or artificial, especially in a treated room. Instruments sound real whether you are in front of it, or you are upstairs, sounding like a band is playing. Previously I found only certain types of music would sound good on my system, but everything sounds great, from my Jazz, to my son’s classical, to my daughters rap music.
