If your local Best Buy doesn't have them, then you may have to go to Japan, Germany or Norway.....

Northridge, maybe, by appointment.

BB, good luck with that one, Magnolia HT won't even have them. In fact, the last time I looked in my local BB they didn't have ANY JBLs.

Or maybe they charge a fee to have a listen.

The Best Buy remark was a joke....surely you didn't think I was serious....

Kinda like Best Buy is a joke..

somehow the thought of finding the very best in Audio at BB is purely an oxymoron.

Hi Rolf,

this is only the "announcement" of the test and not very helpful.

Today later I get the real test and will translate and post it here.

Ya, I know you were joking, but the real oxymoron is that BB is surviving and CC, Tweeters, like the Good Guys, already, are going down the tube.
Next, it will be just BB and Walmart for the average joe looking for his A/V fix.
That's just too sick, guess JBL will have to become mainly a ID like many other companies are now. First it was Outlaw, now there are almost too many to count.
There will be still a few B&M with High End gear, but not as many as there used to be. The fact I never was able to audition the PT800 before I bought them would suggest I will probably never hear the Everest.

Hofmannhp, it a little late, they tried to make USA metric back in the '70s. It failed, big time. Auto engines are about the only thing that when metric and they still have both metric and US standard bolts.
I remember most people were yelling about gas pumps, they were changed to read liters when gas went over .99/gallon. (the gas pumps didn't have a third digit to read 1.10). They thought they were getting screwed. It didn't bother me, putting $10 of gas in the tank still made the gas gauge read to the same level, no matter what the pump read.

Sure - and its SO much more impressive when the speedo hits 100 in Europe (that would be 100kph), instead of the lame 100mph that we are used to seeing in the US ...

Blame it on the King's lead foot

Hi MJC,


I had a great fun reading the words from a governments time schedule from about 1972. (that's where I stole this avatar temporarely)

The USA is one of the lonely "islands" using inch, foot and etc.
Look at JBL (since some years) , or NASA, or Boeing, or.....they all went to metric.
I am happy for having the metric system here and everywhere.

only my thoughts

Back to the Everest, as things are right now, at least in the USA, the Everest will never be seen by 99.9% of the public. And that's because it will only be sold thru Synthesis dealers (I'm assuming). Most, if not all, of the Synthesis dealers don't have showrooms. Its a real shame, aside from the fact that most of that 99.9% could not afford the Everest anyway.
Its the same with the K2 and the Project Array series, Synthesis dealers only.
From what I've seen lately on the net, the electronic chain stores, in this country, only have the JBL series that would be considered below the Studio L series, in price and quality.
Tweeters did have the PS and Studio L, but they are gone, in light of Tweeters closing all its stores in CA. I've never been into a Tweeters, but I thought they were a bit more upscale from BB or CC. From what I've read the last two days, on AVS, that would be a wrong assumption.
So here we have the largest speaker company in the world with no retail outlets displaying the better quality speakers, from PS to Everest.
