Just a heads up those 5234 and the 5235 had only unbalanced outputs.

Only the input was balanced.

The Ashly based on this tech sheet had balanced outputs.

What this amounts to is that if you are using power amps with balanced inputs (phono 3 tip ring or XLR 3 pin ) the Ashly is going to be quieter over the JBL crossovers. Things like ground loop buzz, cable noise and emi can all shrouded the sound quality particularly at normal or low listening levels.
