What sound quality may be different comparing with the latest JBL L16, $999 in amazon? I'd like to buy one among these two models.

The sound compares to my B&W Matrix 800 which cost me 18,000 a pair........of course it won't be as loud ,but the quality is as good as you can get at this price.

Overall, JBL produces high-quality speakers and some of them sound exceptional. For the astronomical price of $999 I am sure you cannot go wrong with this speaker. The JBL is capable of producing better sound from lower quality music. The B&W; will produce amazing music but only from amazing records. I am not sure you could compare these two models as apples-apples as they differ significantly in price and dimensions. You are getting an audiophile-quality system in any you choose. The B&W; is loud enough to fill a small room but a medium room will be filled more adequately with a JBL.

I also just bought it from Best Buy for the $799. I added some black friday Polk Audio 1/2 off speakers to the order to hit the $999 for 36 months too. I can't be happier.....well I will be when they get around to delivering it later this month.I clicked on this link because I was looking at both these models as well, as Vanns.com had them both for $999 and I was wondering if it was worth getting the other model over the 60C9.

I Choose the Linn Majic 109's. I am very happy with them. With the Linn speaker you will never get tired of listening. I think I should have also auditioned the Dynaudio Excite X16's, for comparison. Good Luck

I doubt it. I have a $50 jbl wired speaker that gets much louder. Overall i've bee pretty underwhelmed by the sound, which is crisp and clear until the last 2 volume levels but without much bass. I think the price is more for overall functionality and durability.

I, too, purchased the 93 and thought about upgrading to the 95. I liked the 93 but was intrigued by the 95's audio. So I ordered a 95 and was blown away by the improved sound. The 93 is on its way back to Amazon.

I currently use a Klipsch speaker sys and not familiar with actual use of Boston or JBL. I know the receiver made a big diff in bringing out the best in mine.

I haven't used the Grado's, but the L16 seemed to enhance the sound compared to the L8 with my B&W's.

I have done quiet a bit of research between the 830's and the 820's, including listening to them side by side in a retail store. From listening side by side, it was nearly impossible to discern much difference between the two. I believe the best way to determine which set to purchase is to define how you plan to arrange them. Essentially, with the Studio L line, JBL created different speaker configurations for either wall mounting or non wall mounting. If you intend to wall mount, the 820's are the way to go as they are thinner and have an additional speaker in the front (4-way), and they are designed spread the sound over a wider area. For home theater use, they are meant to be matched with the LC-2 center channel speaker (also thinner, wall mountable, and 4-way). If you do not intend to wall mount, the 830's are the way to go as they are deeper and have a rear port for best performance when positioned slightly away from a wall or cabinet. They are meant to be matched with the LC-1 center channel, which is also much deeper than the LC-2 and is 3-way/rear ported. Some people have even tried to mix/match by using the L830's as front L/R channels and the L820's as rear surround channels. JBL also offers the L810's, which are specifically meant for wall mounting as surround channels, since they are 3-way/front ported.

More same than different. The new UE model (this one) is 1.5 inches taller and half an inch deeper. The handle makes up the bulk of the extra height which the old one didn't have. The driver configuration is almost identical, 2 tweeters, 2 3inch woofers, and slightly bigger 2.5" passive radiators (old one had 2" radiators). The sound is near identical except the new one has more bass because of the larger radiators. The price went up quite a bit from $150 to $250 MSRP. I own the old one and still very satisfied with its low/mid/high balance. If you don't mind the lack of a handle and buying used, the old fine is a great deal. More same than different.

I recently bought the ANC7b after losing my ANC7 headphones (my dumb fault). Although I expected the newer model to have better sound quality, I was disappointed. Mids and highs are more muted, though bass seems more prevalent in the "B" model. I am planning to return the ANC7b model to Amazon, and have found a seller on eBay that has the original ANC7 model for sale.Just my 2 cents...

I have never experienced the JBL. I have a Bose Acoustic Wave system and there is no comparison with the Marantz in terms of "sound" and build quality and feature set of the Consolette. My Bose sounds fine, but the Marantz has it beat hands down by some points I have already made on a review elsewhere on Amazon.

Honestly I have own a number of blutooth speakers.A33 the sound clarity is not bad.Good but the bass is very boomy.Too powerful bass.Presently now I strongly recommend Creative Roar. Price at US 149.Friendly users. The clarity is good with Roar button on.It provides better sound.Run with high volume battery last better than A33.You can even mount on the bicycle with simple modifications.

I own polk monitors 30 slightly smaller 5 1/2 woofer but 1 "tweeter, from either bookshelf bass will be lacking, these two are close but the primus 163 imo is better very nice sound it is a large bookshelf, solid, heavy nice grill. I really like the primus 163, the primus are a great speaker for the price I have compared far and wide you can't beat the quality for the cost. set up is 2 363, p351 and 2 163 and a f 12 sub power is emotiva fusion 8100 and xpa 3

No quality difference! But keep in mind, these headphones have literally no bass to them. I love JLab, and these are my least favorite. Go with the J4's. They have the most powerful bass and overall gorgeous sound. I have had multiple friends switch to the J4's.Enjoy!!

That's all in the "ear" of the beholder. I matched my JBL with a couple of older Bose front speakers we had and then puchased a set of Klipsch rear speakers I got a great deal on. It sounds good to myself and my family. I think you would need to purchsase the JBL and see (Listen) for yourself. If it doesn't meet your needs (Sound good with the primus speakers) then send it back. But I've been happy with it.
