JBL Speaker question

[Mtn. Steel]

I have been in the market for a 5 or 7 piece system for a while now. I have auditioned Boston (did not like at all), MA (okay), Klipsch(quite like them), Paradigm Monitor 7&9 (really liked them) and Mirage Omni sat.
I am looking for two floorstanders a center two di/bi poles and two rears. Now I have never demoed JBL and do not have the option to do so where I live. Today I bumped into guy who also works for one of my clients. We got to talking about the clients HT and I mentioned what I was trying to do. He put it out there that he reps JBL and MIGHT be able to help me out. If I was to go lloking at the JBL line, which models should I be looking at? Med/lg size room, mostly HT. Love my 20% music and love it loud! This is something I may have at act upon quickly should a killer deal coma up. At the end of the day, my hearing must not be great because I never auditioned anything that sounded horrible. I mean I am/was torn between Klipsch and Paradigm! Just looking for a JBL guy or gal to tell me where to start looking on the net. TIA!

Paradigm Monitor Floorstanding Series (7 or 9).

The Paradigm Monitor 7 or Monitor 9 is your ticket.

You already like them, no wonder, they are that good.
And also an excellent value.

See, it's quite easy to find good performance and value speakers, right in your backyard.

You can find some very good deals on JBL studio L series. The 890s (floor standers) get a very favorable review here. There are 3 bookshelf (surrounds) models, Two Centers and Two Floorstanders in the line up. I chose the Cherry finish and they look great. Certainly worth checking out.

If your buddy can get you a killer deal on the L890's I would definitly consider it. http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=jbl+l890+speakers&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-USfficial&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=10404988708425782845&ei=1XJPSqr7IZTDtweN6sWmBA&sa=X&oi=product_catalog_result&ct=result&resnum=4#ps-sellers Now comparing speakers is very subjective. You might like something and the next guy doesn't so listening is the best thing to do. But having reviewed well like I said if you can get a great deal then it might be the way to go. IMO.
