Just got this e-mail from a JBL Pro dealer:

Hello,

What are the prices for the following JBL cinema speakers:

-All three in the JBL 5000 Series (5671, 5672, 5673)
-JBL 4642A and 4645C cinema subwoofers

This is preliminary research, and it would be for two subwoofers and three of the main channel speakers. Consequently, EXACT prices are not required, I am just trying to get a general idea of the costs.

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in the JBL product.

As far as the 5000 Cinema Series...I only show the 5672 in my pricebook.
Retails for $5,645.00. The 5671 and 5673 are not listed, they may be discontined.

The 4642A Retail is $ 1,035. The 4645C Retails for $ 721.00

Thank You,

"The 4645C Retails for $ 721.00"

That's weird. I was just talking to JBL about various issues and happened to ask about the 4645C and the retail price is $1,203.00.

Hell, the 2242H just by itself retails for $839.00!
