Where do you buy JBL?

With a little work, I can get most of the JBL consumer stuff from most of these on line vendors. Apple and Best Buy only have multimedia stuff.

OTOH, there are eight authorized dealers here in greater Los Angeles, six of which are Frys. Since Frys basically carries only three models near the bottom of JBL's offerings, it's hardly a benefit.

The other two, it's anybody's guess what can actually be purchased there. One seems to focus on HTIB and the other doesn't actually stock JBL at all though you can order it.

As always, people living in the LA, NYC, Chi and other large metro areas will always have a better dealer selection. Whereas many other areas of the country one might have to drive 3, 5, 8 hours to get to a dealer if one wants to do an audition, in store.

If odering online, then its a crap shoot as to if the person in question will like what he/she gets, and then the hassle of sending it back, if not. But that seems to be the way of the future.
