I know how good my Studio 530's sound and those must be awesome. Congratulations on the new speakers. I am glad they sound as good as they look.

[Mr Peabody]

I'm glad you like them and they are working out so well for you.

It's funny you said that, because one of my hang-ups was the appearance of the 1400's. After seeing Aerial 7T's, 802's, and others with furniture grade cabinetry, the aesthetics of the JBLs, particularly the vertical horn, was rather jarring. I likened it to what Daffy Duck looked like after Elmer would shoot his bill onto the back of his head. However, once I unpacked them, I found the bass cabinet to be beautifully grained and finished, the stain is just so dark that pictures rarely do them justice. I'm actually warming to their iconic look. It's kind of nice to have speakers that don't look like normal speakers. They certainly aren't beautiful in the traditional sense, but they are interesting.
