JBL 1400 Array speakers

I am the second owner of these speakers, I bought them from a fellow member last year. Astonishingly good speakers, the best I've had and I have had quite a few! Producing deep bass, clear highs and a very engaging midrange. Huge soundstage and image.

They seem to like a fair bit of power and I've had best results with purifi class D monos. 

I'm only selling because something else arrived here on the classifieds that I have been chasing for a few years, and I didn't want to let them get away this time. I'm not sure this is a good idea, I will probably never have speakers this good again. 

These speakers are really heavy, and challenging to shift. Due to a recent health event I can't really shift them myself so you will probably need a couple of people, or a pro to help to transport them.

Here is an extract from the Stereophile review of these:

"JBL's Synthesis 1400 Array BG impressed me with its three-dimensional imaging, impressive transparency, ambience retrieval, capacity to "disappear," and fine timbral detail. It gave my similarly priced reference speakers, the electrostatic Quad ESL-989s, a run for their money for its excellent balance across the audioband, its good timbral retrieval, and its three-dimensional imaging—and it exceeded the bass-shy Quad in its reproduction of pipe organ and percussion and its ability to play much louder. On the other hand, the Quads excelled in soundstage depth and resolution of musical detail. I was also impressed with the JBL's naturalness and lack of distortion, qualities I'd heretofore thought were the exclusive province, in this price bracket, of Quads. I even grew to like the 1400 Array's unusual appearance.

Because of these excellent qualities, the Synthesis 1400 Array BG deserves a top-rank recommendation in Stereophile's "Recommended Components." The JBL has the smooth frequency response, the bass extension, the wide soundstaging, and the unique ability to render voices that I've heard only from far more expensive loudspeakers. Even with a retail price of $11,500/pair, the 1400 Arrays' width of soundstage, wide dynamic range, and accuracy in reproducing realistic male voices—all as good as I've heard in my listening room from other more expensive floorstanders—makes them an audiophile bargain. No wonder Greg Timbers is so proud of them." https://www.stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/jbl_synthesis_1400_array_bg_loudspeaker/index.html
