I just set some guy straight about JBLs over at AVS. He didn't have a clue that there were High End JBLs. So I showed him this:

Well done!
Paying debt to Karma...
When I hit the powerball I am buying 6 of them for HT.

You and me both. If the $365 million winner decides to take the lump sum, they walk away with a staggering $124 million AFTER taxes.Originally Posted by duaneage
YOWSAH!
Just remember what GT said, " Five (or seven) identical speakers are the best way to re-create the sound space that the authors of the recording intended."Originally Posted by Titanium Dome
Having 7 identical speakers, I can support that statement 100%, although my L212s aren't in the same class as the K2s.
If I had 7 K2s I'd need a room at least twice as big!
What!? So the remaining $241 million goes to Iraq!? Fuck that shit...Originally Posted by JBL Dog
Not quite. If a winner takes the lump sum then they receive 60% of the "Jackpot" (they get 100% if they take the annuity).Originally Posted by Giskard
Then the government gets their share.
Of the governments share (what is the top marginal rate now? 28%?), the military gets only a small fraction (based on the current budget), the bulk of which is wealth transfer payments, then some for schools, roads and other important stuff.
As an Army Medic (91W), IMHO, the more that gets to Iraq, the sooner we come home.
On topic: my 5.1 set up is now using 5 similar, but not identical vintage JBL speakers. L112 fronts, 4411 center, L96 rear. Certainly not as nice as the K2 9800 series, but it's the best I can afford now.

If I sold my house and bought a mobile home, then I could afford all the K2s I wanted.
Then you wouldnt have a room to keep them in! But, yours would be the most jammin trailer park in the nation!Originally Posted by MJC

....of all the JBL speakers built in the company's history- none appeal to me more than the K2 9800. I can't explain it- but the design just seems "right" to me in every way imaginable. I've never even heard a pair. In fact- if anyone on this forum (pref east coast) has a pair they would let me listen to- I'll buy dinner.
Snooze looze! Where's my dinner?
A double wide, 60' long or better, built with my own floor plan, that would contain a large HT, maybe 1/2 the total!Originally Posted by scott fitlin
Ah, but where would I want to set up house. That's the real question.
I hear that, along with the 250Ti. As far as hearing them, I still haven heard the 3 top of the lines yet. PS, Array, K2 9800.Originally Posted by hapy._.face
The last top of the line JBL I saw in Nevada was the 250Ti in '87, and before that, the L212 in '78, which I bought.
Now if I could just decide where I'd put up a large, large Mobile, I could actually afford the K2s. It would have to be at least an acre, like I've got now, so I wouldn't wake the neighbors.

However, I betcha the Synthesis guys have a thing or two to bring to the debate, including the SDEC-2500A and Digital Acoustic Calibration System™ (DACS™). At the very least, the low end of the K2 S9800 needs some reinforcement, in this case with four S1S-EX 18" subs.
But hey, I'm with you, if I only had enough money for seven K2 S9800s, that'd be just fine for me.
Out.
