Which to sell

Which speakers are better out of the two? The JBL HLS410 or the JBL Control 1Xtreme? I currently have both of them and I' am trying to decide which one to sell on E-bay. I will need to sell one of them but I don't know which I should sell. I need to save money to get better speakers but in the mean while I need to get the most I can and I sure don't need two pairs of speakers so please tell me which speakers is the best out of the two so I can sell one. Both are in good condition and sound like new.

I want to know the general feedbacks of the two speakers. Example: Someone might say the JBL HLS410 is a better speaker since it uses a horn and it can have a lower crossover point to blend the music better and the woofers is better quality and materal then the Control 1Xtreme. By the way that part where I said having lower crossover point is true fact about the HLS410.

Well, have you listened to both? How do you like the sound of them?

Yes I currently own both pairs and I need peoples feedback on what they think about the two. I want to see which speaker is rated the best out of the two from peoples feedback.

If you are going for the most money, I would tend to think that the horns would be more impressive to a prospective buyer on ebay. A lot depends on how you are going to use the remaining pair and what you are looking at to purchase. Sorry, I haven't heard either. Dennis

list them both, pull the one that is left after the first is sold???? I don't really know how ebay works so maybe that is not feasible....

Who cares which is "rated better"? Keep the ones that sound the best to you.

I have decided to keep the Control 1Xtremes and I removed the Titanium-Laminated dome tweeters and I ordered two Polycarbonated dome tweeters that was used in the orginal Control 1 since I like the sound of Polycarbonate better then titanium-laminate.



Both the Control 1Xtreme and the orginal Control 1 uses same size woofers and tweeters. I did learn one thing for sure is that the woofers model number is exactly same as the pro Control 1. Only the tweeters said Control 1X. So I just swap the Titanium-Laminate tweeters to Polycarbonate tweeters that are used in the orginal Control 1 and it sounds perfect as I want meaning it sounds exactly like the Orginal Control 1 from Pro even the power is the same, bass and highs same etc.
