You should be able to mix on JBL LSR32's, they are really midfields though and best used in a room with enough square footage. The JBL LSR28's that some of the guys use here for mixing (per their posts on some other JBL thread) are more of a high-fi sound than the 32's. I use JBL LSR32's so I can't give you a truely objective review (we tend to like what we use LOL). The LSR32's broke away from the prior 43XX and 44XX series 3-way boxes and don't have that nice warm smiley curve to them. Instead they sound very detailed/neutral, especially the mids. I've got them temporarily in a near field position and they still cut it with very good 3d image (use it as a midfield though!!). The older 43 and 44 series 3-way midfield boxes are cheap now and did impress the clients in alot of studios back in their day. Given how many studios mixed on them at the time and still got great results shows how important it is to mix on speakers you know well regardless of their lack of neutrality. I think Bruce S. mentioned mixing on the old JBL's in one of his guest forum posts.
