Interview with Greg Timbers-JBL Designer
 

Very interesting.

"As I mentioned, I believe that solid Dynamic behavior is most important to get lifelike sound. Dynamics require high efficiency since transducers are pitiful in energy conversion. I also believe that sound staging is extremely important. I think natural midrange and bass presentation precedes the treble range. Of course all things have to be balanced".

Really cool to read about the guy that designed my old 250Ti's. Haven't had those in years and I can't really remember exactly how they would compare to today's stuff but I remember having a lot of fun with them!!!
