JBL’s new Studio 5 line was designed by Greg Timbers, the same guy who did the company’s way-top-of-the-line, $60K/pair Everest speakers, and to quote a boilerplate phrase used in thousands of reviews, the trickle-down technology is evident. There’s a real pro-style compression driver at the mouth of each of those dramatic-looking molded horns, plus of course various woofers hidden behind the gracefully curving grilles. “Some people love the look, some people hate it,” a company spokesperson confided in me, but I totally dig it and can’t wait to hear them. Prices run from $689/pair for the Studio 530 minispeaker to $2,238/pair for the big Studio 590 towers.
Brent,
I've been reading the various soundbar reviews on this site trying to decide between a few different soundbars. I'm at a loss though on and need some expert advice.
I was debating between the ZVOX 580 and the BA TVee 30. Then I found comments for the upcoming PowerBar 235.
I'm no audiophile, and cost is a factor. However, I'm willing to spend a bit more on to get quality and a good user experience. That being said, I don't know which of these 3 is my best option. I'm using mainly for movies and tv, though will likely listen to some audio CDs (or my wife will).
The ZVOX cost is half that of the PowerBar, though the PowerBar is "higher end". The BA is a bit more than the ZVOX, but I've read poor reviews regarding customer service. Any recommendations or guidance?
Much appreciated.
Thanks,
--Hummad
