Was in Japan recently and as a longtime JBL fan since I was 11 years old I went absolutely gaga, wanted to share some pictures
There was a buffet of JBL speakers available for sale and most could be tried out with a myriad of power amps. The two superstores I visited had more than enough JBLs to sample for a day. They let you sample whatever you wanted.

Most of these amps were hooked up so you can test the JBL with them
