Interesting to note that the likes of Dynamic Audio and Audio Union in Japan sell the higher end JBL's on extended terms - almost like lease agreements. Hey maybe they drive around in Daewoo Matiz instead of a Camry - but at least they get into it every morning with a big grin on their faces.

I've been lucky enough to have lived with a lot of top audiophool loudspeakers over the years from B&W, Proac, Logan and others. I've owned speakers that image better than any JBL, that have more extended treble response, and that have more profound bottom ends. But I've yet to own a loudspeaker that captures the essence of most of my music collection as well as most 43** series JBL's do. I am writing to the Queen to ask that Mr G Timbers gets an honorary knighthood in the New Years Honours List.
