I specifically mentioned Onkyo and Denon because that full Onkyo unit was SUPERB in the Connecticut home. Really really good. I think the guy was actually an Onkyo dealer or salesman.

I thought Denon was an equivalent (they are from Denmark?) so I'm slightly surprised Denon isn't getting more love, though it has been mentioned some.

We're Demons also like Premier units (anything better than Technics in terms of quality?) Sony ES came around .. I am not entirely sure but yep Sony didn't just do TV. Always an average-above average, Sony was.

Would you out Denon as an A- or B+.. Onkyo??

You asked about high end. Denon and Onkyo are not high end. They are main stream.

In 1972 I bought a Harmon Kardon Citation 11 amp and pre amp they conked out in 2006 so I gave them and the Ess Hiel amt 1 speakers to one of my hard core audiophile friends. I brought the amp and pre amp to a Mackintosh clinic and it beat the manufactures specs by quite a margin . I had a friend with some Bose 901speakers and a nice amp which I don't remember the brand but we hooked them up together and the sound was like a live rock concert sound . Powerful and hard hitting . I doubt I have ever heard more realistic rock sound.

We had a member here @sleddriver that did a full resto on an HK Citation several years back:

I've always liked JBLs.

I presently have two Bluetooth speakers both from JBL.

I believe JBL is a Harman/Kardon brand now, is it not?

So please tell me, I'm interested.. how is the concert venue JBL different from your home audio segment?

Is it simply bigger speakers that can handle more power or is it more to it than that?

Thanks, Quattro Pete.

what's really interesting is that it was literally just last night that I told my friend that the speakers in movie theaters are JBLs... At least the ones in the back are.

I was explaining to her about THX and Lucasfilm THX and Star wars and how THX could be anything but they have to meet a certain standard.

I've also never seen an entire Star wars film in my life I've only seen the scene in the second one where the mechanical turtles were walking across the desert that is it.

What kind of speakers are those?

Salk Signature Sound
Song3 Encore
All of his speakers are custom hand built per order and about a 7to 8 month wait time. Are they worth it can be and some of the best components used from around the world in them and hold resale unbelievable well but listen to them and you'll never want to give them up.
 
Altec Lansing - Voice of the theatre are used as the name would imply as are Klipschorns.

LOOVED my JBL 4412's, but the eventually shredded and burned behind the mighty Mcintosh. Should have re-coned them.

Wouldn't surprise me if Madison Square Garden was running some kind of Bose.

that system was amazing and I'm only being slightly facetious because what it was was a closed-in amphitheater....

And Madison Square Garden is never going to open back up again......

I hard heard 2 diff MSG stories - one was running Altec Lansing Voice of the Theatre's,
the other said they were running Klipschorns.

(Both Epic)

They might have both?

did you know that there's a smaller theater under Madison Square Garden that's its own separate theater?

I've worked boxing events in both.

now it's a shame that Madison Square Garden is never going to open back up again....

It can't, if you've been following news headlines and events. now no that's not an actual news headline but I'm can see the writing on the wall.

They did it to themselves...

And they will probably declare Bankruptcy (like I need to actually do next year and I've been putting it off for a while) and say if the best thing for them and come back is some sort of media company and sell their property to Amtrak...

Ive had several JBL's - all great especially my 4410's and 12's

On power handling its complicated.There is a bit more to it than that, but for the most part yes, you are unlikely to see many "bookshelf speakers" that can take sustained high power input from a monster amp like that Bryston B4.

The speakers resistance (ohms) driver(s) size, style, count, driver construction, magnet type, and any internal crossovers all have a power rating they can take, and all assembled as a unit the speaker sensitivity rating is measured on the scale of "X"decibels@ 1 watt @ 1 meter.

Bose 901 are famous for requiring huge power to deliver the spec.
