That'll be a JBL biradial for you -like you say it's unobtrusive. But just like the ATC midrange dome, the 435be requires extensive EQ to flatten the FR and being passive, I'm sure this impacts on performance.

Listen to the Exclusive 2404 or 2402 which Richard owns and you can hear the difference with a ruler flat midrange response.

The JBL 1500AL can be made to work lower, it's just that the K2 is voiced for smaller rooms. I'm not sure what the -6db point is on the ATC's.

The biggest difference between the two speakers is the radiation pattern, and how it will interact with it's surroundings. That will be the most audible change when going from one to the other. I prefer a controlled dispersion if I can get it - and I couldn't get on with the ATC's amplification at the end of the day.
