Changed the front speakers 3 times and ended up getting bigger drivers. 6 1/2" vs 5 1/2". Now my music sounds very nice in Stereo mode. More natural.
This is the main reason I keep the JBL L100T3s as my front speakers. They not only sound great playing movies but they also sound great for general stereo listening. I'm not sold that the prepackaged theater setups perform well for regular stereo playback and is a good reason to mix and match models, series and even brands to get a well rounded system.
