Thanks for watching! You've got that option with the custom eq available. That said, in person it's a whole different listening experience. Let me know what you think if/when you pick one up or hear it in person!
4th song. Confusing. The voice is very raw on the Klipsch; and very processed on the JBL, as though it is supposed to sound like the JBL (i guess because i don't listen to this type of music). However, at 100%, the Klipsch appears clearer & better.
One thing you may notice throughout all Klipsch products is the ability to reveal things in music that you may have not heard before. This can be both good and bad depending on the recording. They can reveal subtilties or nuances that may otherwise be missed. they can also reveal artist mistakes or recording or mixing issues. Hard to say if the artist intended it to sound like speaker a or speaker b. All we can do is decide which one we prefer for our own listening.
Classical and orchestral music typically tends to lean in Klipsch's favor as well. Love listening to this on the Heresys or Cornwalls as well but, thats a different story for another day. Or maybe even another channel. :)
The 2nd song, the percussion is clear & differentiated on the JBL plus clear individualized poppy bass @6:41 and is a mess on the Klipsch @6:54. Wow, the first time i've seen the Klipsch lose. At 100%, the Klipsch improves @7:54 @8:05 and may sound better than the JBL @7:47 @7:58 which becomes dull. At 100%, it appears the JBL remains very clear on the poppy bass, which is inaudible on the Klipsch. But at 100% the Klipsch percussion may be better. At 100%, i much prefer the song on the Klipsch but that is probably because its too techno for me on the JBL and I prefer the percussion drowning out the techno on the Klipsch (lol).
JBLs always tend to be a bit more bass heavy. That said, LF is usually a lot cleaner in the Klipsch. It's a trade off and personal preference def comes into play quite a bit.
Thanks for watching! Personally I like the sound of the Nashville better. I go into depth as to why, as well as discuss benefits of both in my Nashville vs Flip compare video here - ua-cam.com/video/XLbrDYZgt7k/v-deo.html . Check it out and let me know your thoughts!
Nashville wins in every video i've watched. In the first song, the warmth in the singer's voice is in the Klipsch. In the JBL, the singing voice becomes over-processed. Also, the higher strings of the guitar become too echo on the JBL. The first song, the JBL is a disaster.
Thank you very much for the video. Very helpful
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
5th song (Seth Austin) - the mix is amiss on both to me but the Klipsch sounding more natual & paletable (warmth in the voice).
This is an interesting track. Both do a decent job in reproducing here. Would almost call it a tie.
I prefer Klipsch sound but definitely I would decrease the highs and increase the bass

6th song - JBL for the techno music where bass is more distinct, sharper & punchier. Klipsch again sounding cleaner at 100% volume
I actually preferred the Klipsch on this one but, techno isn't typically my style so, could be my personal preferences shining through on that one.

3rd song. At all sound levels sounding overprocessed on the JBL; more natural on the Klipsch.

Who has the best sound?

What did you have the EQ set to on both?
EQ wasn't touched on either. I leave them at factory settings for these tests.
@@AudioInsideScoopOk I see cool thanks.

Thanks for watching and for your input. Vocal clarity and natural sound seems to always be a win for Klipsch.
