I popped into the Harman Suite at CES and was happy to see that all of the current favorites from JBL are still being produced and supported. Mark Levinson and all Harman high end electronics is moving to a new facility back in Connecticut. The Everest DD67000 were being demo'd and sounding great. I had hoped to see or hear the M2s... they were universally praised but not on display.
The item that really caught my eye and imagination was a new product from JBL Consumer. The L16. This is a self powered stereo reproducer that has built in wireless connectivity, but most amazingly it even has a built in phono preamp! Happily, unlike the plastic products from Framingham, this little sucker actually sounded good!
