admin should be listened to
The fact is that the new JBL Studio line has a great price point. With the top of the line 190BK's clocking in at just over $1000 a pair, these are definitely within the reach of the average consumer. Don't forget that the street price of such a speaker is likely to be lower than the MSRP and you've got a speaker that people should take a look at. Well, scratch that, they should take a listen to them before they look. While the JBL Studio line might be an ugly duckling of a speaker, if they sound good (both the towers are rated down to 45Hz with the bookshelf down to 60Hz which is impressive at the price point), we won't care what they look like. At these prices, you could probably afford an aftermarket grill that makes the speaker look less like a Dutch windmill.

JJMP50 is off the scale
I have to say first that I am a long time JBL owner even though my current config is made up of Monitor Audio speakers. I have owned at least 5 different sets of JBLs since the 80's and I still have a pair of old L1s in a 2 channel setup for the den. If these pics are accurate, and there's no reason to think they're not, somebody at JBL needs to be fired. Talk about reverse WAF...
PhilCohen is gaining some recognition
How freakin' ugly. With smaller drivers and a higher price than the Studio L series(L890), JBL needn't bother introducing anything new. Yeah, I know I've often complained about JBL's reluctance to bring out any new models in the U.S.A., so they bring out these ugly ducklings with puny drivers. Thanks for nothing JBL.

Oh man you guys are soooooo shallow!!!They could be a good sounding speaker. Would that remove some of the ugly out of the bone and onto the skin?
