Jean Baptiste, kohlert, jupiter, and Olds tenor saxes ?

I'm looking to purchase an upgraded intermediate tenor, going into college. Has anyone played these instruments and know about their intonation and quality?

    I have a Jean Baptiste and they, to me, are only good for beginners and not college. the material they are made of is quite cheap. I got one from my cousin and ended up paying about half the price to fix it as they are new. The only other brand i know that you listed is Jupiter and those are high intermediate in my opinion. You get what you pay for(usually) and i recommend a Jupiter www.wwbw.com is a good site with great prices

      I have a Kolhert Tenor. Gets a nice sound for a student model, but its a pain in the ass to keep in proper adjustment. I have to take it down to the shop every 3-4 weeks and have something adjusted...
