Do any of the big national chains still sell JBL? It seems to be almost impossible now days to find a store that sells any JBL stuff, apart from the odd inexpensive bookshelf speaker, or computer/Ipod doodad. Years ago, when I bought my L60Ts, I remember sitting in a listening room at the store, surrounded by the entire JBL line, from the most inexpensive to ones costing multiple-thousands of dollars. Not anymore, it seems.
I've written to JBL, asking them where I can find a retailer, and got no response. Maybe with the Home Theatre movement, quality loudspeakers (versus simply LOUD speakers), the days of listening rooms are over. "Visions" (a Canadian chain) sells some JBL, but only the basic Home Theatre stuff. Best Buy stopped selling them here a while back.
I'd really like to see/listen to the JBL lineup in a quality, controlled environment, instead of the "Best Buy" type of atmosphere.
