like everything else, there are always A LOT of different factors included before making a decision.. Like, I mostly playing hip hop, r&b, spanish and freestyle music.. the hip hop and r&b stations never sound as good as the other stations.. SO I htink b/c you play mostly jazz music and theres not a lot of deep bass in that, the system may sound clearer to you than it would for others... Just my opinion... I'm use to having subs so that might be an ungrade for me in the next couple of months.
