this weekend i found that in the new "stereo magazin" (german) they tested the LS80 as new arrival.
i just flew over the test (because i dont give so much about these magazines) but they said something like powerful, relaxed and room-filling, good for rockmusic and fun to listen to. everest heritage and horn-smalltalk (jbl = the one hornspecialist, who knew?), resume is that they are overall good, but lack a bit of finesse or something.
absolutely what i expected, typical magazine review.
reminding me of a wonderful film:
"he who talks loud, saying nothing!"



here you can skip thru the issue:

i will try to find a pair to listen to.
