Ok, received everything. JL makes general setup a breeze-- though my cabinets were a bit of a pain. Set x-over at 95hz and played some tunes. Bass was ridiculous-- tight, low and really involving. Felt like I was missing some detail so burned in new cables for 15 hours -- I know, not enough. Huge difference tho! Ok I'm blown away by the bass-- musical and I'm now hearing lower octaves in piano keys and more breath in voices. I still have a lot of adjustments to make in phase, ARO but wow! Oh and my ib2 stands are a tad too high so Barry told me to adjust the horizontal angle of the speakers so they tilted down 10 -15 degrees. Huge difference-- thanks Barry!

My 2301s do have more punch in the mid-high range-- I was actually startled a couple of times and did turn down the stereo-- which I used to run at 30 watts and now run at around three watts and still feels louder...

I was nervous about the CR-1 but had done a lot of reading. So far it exceeds expectations (fwiw).
