No need for a sub-woofer with these.
Have fun, JR!
Hope you find something nice...

So bottom line are the JBL 4800s any good in simple stereo setup?
I would love to get some to play with!
I have the 2800, 2 way with the 8" woofer. The 4800 is a three way with a 10" woofer.
At first I thought the tweeter was a bit course and muffled. Then I changed out the parts with the same values but better components. Now the tweeters sing like little birdies. :thmbsp:
EDIT: I paid $50.00 for mine on CL in Northern CA where most things are overpriced. Having said that, I don't feel that I overpaid for them because they were in really good condition.
Forty to fifty bucks is a good price for the model 2800 or better, and maybe thirty for the 2600. I'm surprised that even the stock tweeter/crossover combo could ever be seen as muffled! When new, they were the brightest, snappiest thing in the store, which is why some customers didn't like them. The highs were too bold, bright, and in your face! Your caps must've been worn out.
