    The rest of the photos in this series are taken from the store room that contains a pair of every JBL speaker made in the last 15 years. Here we see an M9500.

    OH!! My!! :shock:

    That room has more than just JBL. I saw a few other brand names in there unless they were copies.

    That would be a fun room!! As a signature from the forum says "It's the Journey" that looks to be a VERY significant stop along the way.!!

    Thanks Don!! Thanks Giskard!!
    Always fun learning more.......

    One isle was devoted to Infinity stuff. A few other brands too. I wasn't paying a whole lot of attention to them. Sorry!

    I see some more XPLs lying to the left and four SVA Series stacked (!) to the right. Ah, the indignity.

    A very interesting room indeed. Kinda looks like my garage.
    Out.

    It seems like lots has changed there since post earthquake days. I remember the factory tour and all the assembly lines....and the assembly lines for different manufacturers OEM products.

    Impressive facility.
