JBL vs EV

[Baxtercat]

My two cents on Calis:
I had two paper-dome Weber Cali 10s in my Vibrolux. They are almost too smooth [unlike a JBL alum. type dome].
Real good for overdrive but I really miss the highs for clean....
They remind me more of an EV than a JBL, just so you know.

back to the OP's question, I think that the EVM drivers are a bit tighter in the LF than the JBL D series. I think they sound better for bass. They're certainly more reliable.

I've been using the same set of EVM-15L Series II speakers in thiele ported cabinets for guitar/bass applications since 1976. The Series II drivers have an insane power rating -- somthing like 400 W RMS. These drivers have been going for 33 years now and they're still going strong. I've never had them reconed.
