I dunno Thom - for me it was the sound, tho the price helped, of course. I had been working in campus radio at the University of So Carolina and had been involved in upgrading the station. Although I had a set of large (original) Advents, I'd gotten very used to the sound of the JBL 4310 Monitors driven by SWTPC Tiger 01 amps (60 watts/ch, I believe). It really changed the way I heard music, and when I came back to DC a few years later, the Century 100s and Decade 36s were the closest thing to that sound - and I preferred the Decade 36s.Originally Posted by Thom
It sure seemed like they were superior to everything in that price range ($200-300 ea) - if you liked that hot sound (compared to the "dry" sound of the New England speaker companies) ...
I will admit - they did not have horns like the big box 4320s I bought earlier this year ...
