Bought this weekend a pair of JK Acoustics Optima 3 MKI full range speakers.
Reason was that near field monitors could not get me a satisfied feeling regarding the Low. So i combined both near field monitors with sub woofers.
The experience was not bad but i had constantly the feeling (despite using Rooms correction software an absorption pannels) that i was listing to a two speaker systems i don't know something like not perfect crossover points whatever. So i thought lets buy a speaker system that i was using years ago but than using it as full range speakers so 2,5 meter wide an i sitting in my sofa at more or less the same length.
Now they are placed at the same height as my previous near field monitors. I had to put them 40 cm up they are 1 meter high. What i got is an incredible thigh t sounding system with lows that took a way the feeling that i was listning to a two speaker system. So i got now a Near Field speaker setup with the advantages of Full range speakers.
The JK's have a build in woofer which is symetrical loaded/powerd. So you need a good stable amplifier to get this working. Do people have tried this before? Any experiences. Here a description of the JK's but it is in Dutch. http://www.jkacoustics.nl/portal/in...le&id=117:optima3-mk1&catid=55:mki&Itemid=121
