To my ear it sounds awesome..
My best system to date!

To the stereo guys "trained" ear, he said he was "suprized and impressed" with the JL's.

His exact words were the system was:
"Very crisp, clean, precise". The JL's are "fast & responsive" with nice mid range.
The Elemental Designs sub, hits well but is also very "musical".
This is one nice system for a C5"...

Im glad you like it now. I have C5-650's up front and XR-525's rear fill.
I suprized your installers "trained" ear is "suprized" by the quality sound from JL! Not to many experts question the fidelity of JL top line speakers. Enjoy the music.
