JBL Performance Series

[Mr. Widget]

These Performance Speakers look terrific up close and from a distance. If you get the "Black Ash" finish, the octagon shape takes you right to the heart of the matter: the beautiful, inverted dome, rubber surround, smooth, cool, special, Titanium drivers. As I tell those guys over there: "You want paper or plastic? You can get that at the supermarket. You can only get these Ti domes one place: The JBL Performance Series."

Dude... you need to cc this stuff to JBL Consumer and become an advisor on their marketing team!

yes, the man does a way with words... Wish I had half his talent.

But if you've seen the one or two ads that JBL put out for the Performance Series, you be red, too, but from frustration rather than coquettish embarrasment like I am.

I totally dig Wynton Marsalis and music lover Ally Waters is muy bonita, but where's the speaker in all this? Oh, there it is, down in the corner! And it's even named in small print for everyone to see.

After looking at that ad, all I really come away with is wanting to date Ally Waters. Anybody know her?

Dome....somehow saying you want to Date her and then have a dancing banana just after somehow looks WRONG.....

Actually that ad prompts me to ask a question about
the two: has anyone heard them both? And how do
they compare (other than the fact that the PS goes
way lower)?

If I were going to buy _new_ JBL it would be one
of these (well, the K2, but gotta win the lottery
first).

Anyone?

You're going to have to compare them yourself.

One JBL engineer thinks the PT800 is better (he actually prefers the LSR6328 over the LSR6332). Another JBL engineer thinks the LSR6332 is better. I value both of their opinions but I'd personally take the PT800 since I listen at home and it is geared 100% towards home use.

Another JBL engineer thinks the LSR6332 is better.

Did they say what they thought was better ( or why they liked one over the other)?

Just wondering.......

They all secretly have Bose at home.

The JBL Marketing Department in the United States hasn't been heard from in quite some time. If you see any of them please contact Harman International. Here is a group photo for reference.

In the photo it is clear where the 4430 design recieved some input from a couple of folks I see in the marketing photo you supplied.

I see you are paying attention. Where do you think the slot loaded ring radiator idea came from?

Yes.

A little off track, but since we're here.

Audiobeer came by today and bought my 4430's so he's got those on his mind. I'll just like to say he is very nice guy and a true gentleman.

Had a great time today ( even tho it was a little rushed ) and enjoyed meeting you Audiobeer. Hope you like the speakers and that your wife isn't to upset.

By the way.....she didn't know what speakers he was getting..think she's just now getting a good at those wonderful wife pleaser's.....

Hopefully we'll see each other again soon..

as soon as I get the pictures I'll do a thread on it
