JBL LSR6328p good for classical music?

Are the JBL LSR6328p good for classical music? From the sos review it's seems they are a good all rounder as he said. Just wanted to make sure there was not anything wrong with them for that particular style of music.

Thanks.

Do you know what sort of frequency response you're looking for or something? Otherwise, I'm not sure they have a preference on genre.

Just want to make sure it's an OK choice for that particular genre thats all. I don't necessarily want the best speaker for classical music either. Just want to make sure it's not a bad choice and make sure I'm not missing anything. Yes I'm not expert. I don't maybe a pair of Adams would give me more details and more important for classical music. I don't know.I'd rather her people's opinion before i pull the trigger.

Cant listen to them here...

Ah, that makes sense.

And since orchestral and acoustic instruments are prevalent in film scores i guess that means I'll be OK.

I figured they'd be perfect for me but got nervous at the last minute...

Thanks much.

Personally, I never liked JBL for classical.

My choices would have been Neumann/K+H, ATC, Harbeth, PMC and Geithein.

Thanks, John. Any particular reason why? And are you talking about older models? Does that include the 6300 series?

I wonder if there are many like you...

Cheers.

my LSR2328's have proven themselves worthy on classical projects I've done. I am thoroughly pleased with them.

That's interesting. I wonder if you were able to compare the 2328 with the 4328, did you? I ask cause I'm also interested in the 4328 for $ reasons... They seem pretty similar to the 4328 minus the gadgets and with less power. Anyone feel free to comment about that.

My business partner works with the 4328's, they sound virtually the same according to him. I havent heard them personally. I bought the 2310 sub too, but sold it. I only miss it when I am tracking bass without an amplifier and want some extra volume.

I love our JBL LSR6328's... when purchasing I A/B'd against various Dynaudio models, our old Mackie's, and the JBL 4328's. I couldn't stand the 4328's, to be honest. The 6328's sound great.

Of course, you could use just about anything... it's all about getting to know your speakers in your room.

Pleeeeeaase, whatever you do, don't audition monitors in a retail showroom. Buy some, take them home or to wherever you mix. Buy from somewhere that has a return policy or will place a hold on your credit card and let you leave with a set or two.

By the way, the comparison made between the 2300 and 4300 series refers to the 4300's with the active room correction dsp off.

Thanks.

But I'm curious to know what was different about the 4328? I'm surprise cause i hear they had a very similar sound.

Cheers.

I figured that was the case. But it's good of you to point this out

Thanks!

The only hesitation i have now is due to the different tweeter use in both models. The 6328 use a titanium tweeter while the 4328 uses soft silk dome. I ask cause i often read soft silk dome are smoother than metal dome. But i know it's not alswasy the case. I didn't reed anything that would indicate that was the case with 6328, can those of you who heard them comment on that?

Cheers.

So it looks like I'm gonna go with the 6328. I feel it's a pretty same move considering the price(used) and that they will give me more bass and a better, more pleasing experience that my HS50m. Which is what i really wanted. I'm sure the HS50m will be useful too(like to the NS10 are hopefully) but i could,t used those full time(aouch!)

I also have a set of Auratone C5 on the way so i feel if i cant get good mix with these 3 sets it'll my fault.

I considered going for a 3-way set earlier and then i realized what i really wanted was to fix my near field problem.

I'm a little surprise to see the LSR 6328 don't get much love around here. I did a search before didn't find a whole lot feedback either. Mostly positive thou.

Thanks everyone.
