I looked at JBL when they first introduced it at the local music store. At the time, I still my Bose L1 Compact, which did a fantastic job for me under nearly all conditions and venues. Though the JBL seemed to have a bit more mid range sounds, the quality, IMO, was just not there. I stuck with my Bose L1 Compacts until I retired and never looked back.
