JBL L75ms Music System

[Dull Eric]

Having moved house to a small flat, I'm looking for a competent system that will not draw attention to itself.

This ticks all the boxes; https://www.jbl.com/loudspeakers/L75MS.html

It does not require a receiver or other electronics, allowing for lower energy consumption.

Any thoughts will be appreciated.

Cheers

Never heard this one personally but with all in one units we tend hear more complaints. I'd go with a passive sound bar and an AVR personally, YMMV.

I thought that looked very nice for a no fuss, no muss little system that you can just play in the background with no worries.

Until I saw the price.
1500 bucks is ridiculous for that piece.
500 would justify it.

I would not criticize the JBL unit on price alone. The Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar | Plus for example is also $1500 and is recognized on many sites as being one of the better sound bars out there. Def Tech makes one for $2400. I bet the JBL sounds much better than your typical $350 sound bar. These types of units rarely get reviewed though so measurements are difficult to find, let alone an honest review.

I wouldn't worry about power consumption particularly between this and a receiver. It does require other electronics as it has no source of its own. I hadn't seen this unit before, shame it doesn't come with a sub (but does seem to have some sort of auto-sensing hpf if one is used). Seems overpriced in any case for what essentially is a soundbar. I like the 70s revisit via the quadrex grill.
