Does anybody have any reflections on this? If not what other bookshelfs in the price range $600-$900 would you recommnend worth listening to.
Thanks and regards,
I'm confused. You didn't like the JM Lab's and yet they are still a consideration? Why bother? There are so many good speakers in your price range and I congratulate you on recognizing that you'll get a better standmount than floorstander at this price point. If you do a thread search for this, you'll see that this question has been asked (and responded to) about 3 or 4 thousand times over the past few months so that should answer any specifics. As far as brands, obviously the 602's are very well respected, Energy, Monitor, AudioNote, NHT, Paradigm, DefTech, Boston, Magnaplaner, Green Mountain, Mission, and Von Schweikert are others to consider. It really depends on what you like, music you listen to, front end, and room size and characteristics.

Good Luck
