Hi Ted,
I’m using the 15 inch JBL EON speakers and mixer. These are self amped and the set up is pretty much like Keith’s gear. While I do a final check of sound processing and panning with headphones for my CD’s, I check the final mix for a concert on the JBL’s at home with the speakers placed fairly far apart, adjusting the panning and EQ for the room I’m going to play in. I found it interesting to watch Scott Yee do his concert speaker placement the same way. With careful positioning he is able to get a fairly broad sweet spot for the stereo image. The JBL’s don’t have the harsh sound that many sound reinforcement speakers have. While they are able to produce the dynamics without the fear of distortion that some hi fi speakers produce, they still have the nice mellow sound of a home stereo.
The use of the mixer adds an additional advantage in recording my Technics organ, for it acts as a pre amp to boost the very weak signal coming from the organ.
