Thoughts on JBL Floor Standers

[victor77]

Has anyone here listened to JBL LS80/LS60 or the JBL Studio 590/Studio 580 or the JBL Studio Monitor 4307 ?

If so share your thoughts please.

I had auditioned the ES80 a couple of years ago and was mighty impressed. Good seperation, clear Midrange & bass. It was a 15 min demo so I could not go into the complete spectrum of songs.

I have shortlisted it for my HK3490 amp (amp will be purchased by Diwali or so.). The other speakers I have shortlisted are Sonodyne & Lithos Kontra. Still have to audition them.

Thanks for the info.It seems that the JBL speakers are made by Harman Kardon,so no doubt the HK 3490 receiver will pair well with the JBL speakers.

If you could,please advise me of the price of the ES80's when you auditioned them.Presently it is Rs.42000/pair

JBL Studio Monitors are excellent products. Almost unbeatable at what they are designed to do. Can't recall the exact model, but I did hear some 4xxx a few years ago. The sound was very neutral, truly pro-grade equipment those.

LS series were very detailed. Not the smoothest sounding speakers you could buy, but then, they cost so little.

I haven't heard the 5 series so I will just say, coming from JBL they couldn't be bad.

Before buying my Focal Chorus 726v I have auditioned JBL LS80. They were fantastic. It was like live concert. The bass is tight. The mid and highs were too good. (audition song: Another day in paradise, Phil Collins) But the price . Could not afford Rs 2 Lac on speakers... So Focal

I have JBL 4410a studio monitors. Very detailed, neutral sound. At first I thought it would be too bright but its not fatiguing to listen to it at louder volume for hours at a stretch. Fantastic speakers!

@madman29 Thanks for enlightening me with the Price,until now I had thought that the price of GBP 1099 mentioned on the JBL UK website was for a pair,just re-checked and found out its actually the price for a single floorstander and not for a pair!


@manoj.p wow the JBL 4400 series speakers are recording studio grade speakers.Just gone through the 4410a specs on the JBL Pro website and im sure they sound astounding!

I have now the JBL LS80. They are great, for classical music as well as pop and jazz. No irritating highs (too much and sharp) and also a bass that's totally in control and goes really low although they say it's only to 50Hz. Don't take the black ones, the others are much more beautifull!
