In their review of the JSE-1 speakers, the $ensible Sound's staff compared them to the Vandersteen 2C's, which had been their "reference" (read preferred and best value for the money) speakers. They found the JSE's to have more definition and better stereo imaging in the midrange (as I mentioned, I've yet to see any speaker in the 2K/pair or so price class with the imaging of the JSE's - some say the Quad ESL-63's are better, but I can't comment on that without hearing the Quads, and a pair of Quads will set you back $3K or so) than the Vandersteen model, without the "harshness" that Vandersteen 2C's have in the lower midrange.
