I did an A/B comparison at the shop last week with Toms JL modded AL3's before I did the mod.
In my opinion they had a more forward midrange, but could'nt match the bass the AL's have.
Now that they're done, I'll leave them at the shop for auditions

The short answer is they sound better than anything else I've heard lately.
