Why does JBL 4365 only rank 10th in Japanese eyes?
Honestly?? I frankly don't care why ...
It either does or doesn't sell - and if they don't sell them stateside, its a moot topic to most of us anyway.
For myself, after being burned by the AVR-7300 and some other JUNK electronics Harman sold and provided no real support for, I don't really care if they do well or not, I don't trust their quality enough to buy another new Harman gadget.
Understand, at one time my entire large room system was just JBL and Harman gear ...
JBL 4341 Studio Monitors, JBL LC2 center, JBL L100T/3 surrounds, JBL L20T rear surround, JBL B30 sub, JBL/UREI M552 crossover, JBL 6230 and JBL 6260 power amps, HK Citation 22 bridged mono for the sub amp, and the HK AVR 7300 as the frontend for everything. It was the top of the line receiver and it can't be repaired reliably. I'm just out my money. Trash.
The vintage stuff was fine, the new stuff ... not worth trusting.
Now - there is NO HK or JBL in that system ...

JBL was JBL. Now JBL is by Harman.
There is no doubt in the least that they were better as James B. Lansing Sound, Inc.
JBL Pro is still hanging in there, although it's really too bad that Doug Button left. I personally consider his leaving a big negative.
Could that mean another JBL re birth like Tad?
