Hi all,

Is there any improvement in the 3rd gen? My 2nd gen JBL lacks mids and glaringly loud highs. The sound stage is way too low. It does not sound good, considering its a higher end stereo. Does the 3rd gen sound any better? I cannot find any threads comparing the two. thanks

There are some improvements, but not much from what I heard between the 2 setups.
