why does JBL 4365 only rank 10th in Japanese eyes?

[fpitas]

Thank you,They are cheap indeed.
How do you think if they compare with Crown K2 and Studio Reference 1(2)?

I haven't seen the schematics of those, so I can't say. And of course, the schematic is just one part of a lot of details that go into making a quality amplifier (or any electronics).

M2 is listed in Norway with a price tag.

After all these pages of yammering on, no one has actually answered the original Question!!

But frankly, that Q is flat silly - JBL isn't made to rank in EYES, it is made to rank in EARS ...
Japanese people should know this!

Let myself answer my silly Q,considering the price of 4365,even rank 10th is not a shame to JBL
But according to G.T's original saying,with JBL top drivers,4365's is only worth its price.that is say,even 4365 is made to rank in EARS,it is just so so.
Cheaper S4700 is more musical and lively than 4365

Yeah, but he was responding to me personally. He knows what I like. Plenty of people like the 4365 just fine.

S4700 has a much higher price than 4365, at least where I live.

But I guess you meant the components inside.

The 4338 style box, sans 045 bezel, remains my personal favorite footprint.

I.e the 4365 box

Yikes.

How much is the M2 compared to either?

Really?it is incredible

In the norwegian pricelist posted above, the M2 has roughly the same price as 4365. And the s4700 cost 50% more than that (multiply 4365-price with 1.5 and you get s4700-price)

I have not read so much about M2, but they are not including crossovers, right?

Here in the US, there was a major re-pricing on the S4700 this year. It was introduced at $20K per pair, but for 2013 the price was adjusted down to $15K per pair. Perhaps a similar move will occur internationally?

Thats quite a slice off the top. Begs the question how much margin they had to play with. Also if I'd just purchased a pair at 20K I would be less than pleased.
Harman marketing yet again.

It could be interesting to know just how many were sold at the original price.
