I would think that way too, but I would like to listen 1008be first. BTW, I'm also thinking if ProAC or Neat speakers would have the similar sound char as JMLab, esp. the high/medium pitch - really addicted... any Ching can give an opinon? Tks!
I don't think ProAc sound char will be similar to JM LAB. Ching better try try first. If using naim, most Ching will choice UK speaker like ProAC, not much Ching will match with JM LAB.
