New center channel !

[Mark E. Long]

I just now noticed that it's a 3 way center channel, and good driver configuration too. When I first saw it I thought it was a 2 way.

Yea it’s a three way a one inch titanium tweeter, a 3 inch coated mid both horn mounted and one 8 inch bass driver on each side of the high and mid drivers there mounted on a angled front that really spreads the center wide in the room . But the detail this puts in the soundstage is amazing .

For some reason I thought you picked one up like I did....I'd love to hear yours in action!

I was skeptical at first cause horn loaded speakers if not done correctly can sound shrill and tinny sounding . But every reviewer I read stated these sounded lifelike with none of the bad artifacts from horn loaded drivers and the crazy thing is this is a large speaker and it just disappears in the soundstage and adds so much detail to everything I throw threw it . It seems to have no auditable range limit on the top end .

Thought that was more a Klipsch issue JBL seems to have the horn tech down better in any case....

I did have more experience with Klipsch horn tech before diving into the JBL stuff, which I found much more pleasing to the ear.....as well as non-horn JBL tech....always been a fan to an extent

I’ve herd some big jbl pro horn setups that sound pretty amazing for as big and powerful as they are . The best I’ve ever herd was the local outdoor concert venue put in this huge Bose Concert Array a few years back and believe it or not for Bose its very impressive and I hate anything Bose lol

It truly is spectacular sounding ! I put the John Mayer Blu-ray in it’s really how it’s supposed to be herd only downside is you can still see his facial expressions when he sings ! It’s so lifelike you never want to turn it off ;-)

Sounds like it'd match up nice with your 590s...

I agree I believe the 590’s use trickle down tech in the tweeter from the synthesis systems I’d say they would voice match very closely .
