I'm very familiar with Array 1400s and believe them to be the best sounding speakers JBL ever made, but I simply don't have room for them in my current listening room. I'm extremely happy with my DIY L200 "Extremes" as I call them, especially after upgrading to M2 woofers, but they're a bit large and maybe it's time to try something different and maybe a little less room dominating. If anyone has actually owned both, or at least has extended listening seasons with both, I'd love to hear a comparison. Bass below 50Hz won't be an issue as I have multiple high quality subs.
