Lol. Sometimes I just do that...
Wilson doesn't have anything that cheap.With a $5,000, I’d imagine there is lots of competiton from Paradigm . TeKton Wilson etc right ?
And not as good where it counts either!Wilson doesn't have anything that cheap.
TLS Guy what are your thoughts on JTR speakersAnd not as good where it counts either!
Dan, I have an idea. Send me a pair HDI3800’s and get yourself a JTR setup! We both win!!!TLS Guy what are your thoughts on JTR speakers
Down the road it's going to be between the JBL HDI lineup the JTR lineup or RBH for my forever speakers
After a lot of learning I just believe your spot on with where a speaker needs to be able to perform the best
Based on your expertise does JTR design speakers well?
Hey we could even do it like this send me a pair of JTR and get yourself a HDI setup!!!Dan, I have an idea. Send me a pair HDI3800’s and get yourself a JTR setup! We both win!!!

Winner winner chicken dinner!![]()
Trust me bro there's a reason I only bought one PB 2000 pro todayTouché!!!!!
I like your choices. I think the HDI series is great, and is just what I’ve been looking for to upgrade my old JBL towers. I’ve also long been interested in JTR speakers/subs. The JTR’s look a little utilitarian in comparison so that’s a tougher sell to mamma. Plus, I feel rather poor these days so I’ll be enjoying any expenditures via YOU!!! Lol
If I do go JTR I'm planning on putting in a bigger AT screen and building an AT front wall to put everything behind simply due as you said to the lookTouché!!!!!

Plus, those 5 series you’ve got should keep you going for awhile.Trust me bro there's a reason I only bought one
I feel you being essential means my job is guaranteed unless stuff really collapses knock on wood but still I'm really not crazy about spending anything right now
I just couldn't resist
But it'll be a good long while before I do my forever speakers due to the issues we have now
This HDI-3600 with a Denon AVR-X3600H and a pair of SVS or Hsu subs would make an excellent system.Crutchfield (as well as other outlets) has these in 3 different finishes for $1900/ea. or $3800/pr. so very close to 25% less!
The strange thing is Crutchfield does not show this as a sale price so I wonder if this is JBL's actual price?!
@shadyJ do you have any thoughts on where you got the $5000 price vs Crutchfield's price?

Unfortunately, the bookshelf version is not less than $900/ea!
Edit: I am mistaken, this is the HDI-3600 with smaller woofers! See ShadyJ's post below.
Yes indeed!This HDI-3600 with a Denon AVR-X3600H and a pair of SVS or Hsu subs would make an excellent system.
Three of those HDI-3600 would definitely bring an ideal front sound stage which many audiophiles would enjoy having.This HDI-3600 with a Denon AVR-X3600H and a pair of SVS or Hsu subs would make an excellent system.
I have never heard them. Such measurements as are out there, just very directional speakers. Large sectoral compression horn speaker systems have not had a good track record under domestic conditions. They have fared much by better in large cinemas and theaters.TLS Guy what are your thoughts on JTR speakers

I am actually VERY disappointed to not see Spinorama measurement of this speaker. To me the whole review looses value if this crucial graph is omitted. Why then go through all the work of measuring the speaker if there is no Spinorama in the end?
Otherwise interesting speaker. Seems that objectively it has issues, but subjectively everyone praises it no matter what. I just don't think it is a significant enough upgrade over my JBL Studio 580.
