I've played around with it some more.
Thanks for your comments. This is all pretty new to me.
It works great on the two old receivers I've tried, using a second one of the Bluetooth boxes, but the name is the same in the Bluetooth settings. Not surprising, but might be an annoyance in the future (if they're both on at the same time).
The sound was a bit muddled in our JBL tower speakers when playing through my phone, so I decided to try an equalizer app on my S20+. Wavelet seemed to get a decent review at AndroidPolice, so that's what I tried. It's got customized settings for my Sony WF-1000XM3 wireless earbuds, so I decided to pay the $5.49 and try that setting first (after messing around with the free settings a bit).
WOW! It made a huge, huge difference in the clarity of the JBLs (even though they're obviously nothing like each other)! I might try to customize the settings more, but I may not bother. (I've had these JBL towers for maybe 15 years now and they've never sounded as clear and natural as I had hoped even trying the various EQ settings on the Yamaha receiver. They're so much better now!)
It's really amazing what electronics and software is able to do these days!! :-)
Highly recommended.
Cheers,
Scott.
