Why would anyone who value the qualities of JBL drivers would go out of their way to get clones or inferior products? Is it because some are cheaper? JBL quality comes at a price but that price is far from being expensive: it is the price of quality. It's true for JBL and for any other maker in any other field. A Steinway is a Steinway is a Steinway, period. If anything, it highlights the outrageous margin the cheap stuff is making on unsuspecting buyers... Many indeed are fakes, just like fake Hermes bags and should follow the same fate than fake Rolex watches at the border. It is also because of these subpar products invasion that we amateurs are deprived of the great, cheaper -check the price tag of the Fostex tweeters- tweeters such as 2402, 2404 and 2405. I was told by someone at JBL that they became too expensive to produce compared to the competition. This search for the cheapest thrill is simply killing legitimate businesses, that yes make a profit, should make a profit because they deserve to make a good living selling good products. Sorry for the rant but this is a sticky point with me.
