- I auditioned the JBL 3800 last year and I found them to be bass-deficient.
- They just can't take much power before they break-up. At low volume, they were
- fine, but turn it up past about 11:00 and they scream. Don't be fooled by the
- name. JBL makes some amazing stuff, but they also make crap, and the 3800 is of
- the latter category. Trade either the speakers or the receiver and replace
- them/it. Or live with it - not much else to do. Good luck.
