It sounds a lot like that JBL speaker, which I remember well. I have been in pursuit of the great classical speaker for 45 years, and for my tastes, the JBL certainly wasn't it, and neither is the Watt Puppy. I find them both colored the same way. HOWEVER, when it comes to quality speakers, as I've said many times, it's all a matter of taste in the end. What I like and what you like could be completely different, and it doen't make a damn bit of difference or mean anything other than we like different kinds of sound. Neither of us is right or wrong. My first speakers were AR3s, which many people hated; I thought they were very nice for classical music. I next got KEF 105.2s, another (for me) great speaker for classical music. I then got Spendor SP 100s, which continue in the same vein. None of these speakers are impressive, highly resolving (whatever that means), dramatic, and so on. They just remind me of what I hear in a concert hall. The sound in a concert hall is far from uncolored. Concert halls don't have flat responses. That doesn't mean I seek speakers with colored sound. You just can't reproduce the sound of a concert hall in your home, so my goal is to try to reproduce the emotional experience, the feelings and impactone gets listening to music in a great hall, and that takes a certain kind of speaker.Joe
