A friend told me JBL DD67000 is actually very bad speaker, is it true?

A pair on here for $20k. If I had the money…

Doodle,
Interesting for sure. JBL’s lack of US marketing is interesting to say the least but there seems to be consistently good impressions/reviews/measurements of their latest offerings (specifically the 4367 and M2).

I have thought about buying the 4367 from music direct and just taking the gamble (low risk with 60 day trial) but they push my budget so just not sure yet. I have not heard a horn that I really liked (I like some aspects) but I still want to try lol.

Doodle,

I also like the Salons and have come to the same place as you on a cheaper scale.
 
After listening to a bunch of different stuff I have come to understand that I am super picky about frequency response (flat) and impulse response (impact or transients). Which has lead me to the Revel 328be/228be or the JBL 4367 (M2s are out of my price range with the amps needed). 


I think I would like to try the 4367 but the deals might just be too good on the Revels not to try them. Several pairs around at 60% retail and at 100% retail I feel they are still a good value. 


I will high pass any speaker I buy with subs at 60hz or so. 


I feel that revel is very good technically but lacks a bit of dynamics. Many highend speakers have the same issue imo. I feel that the 328be was a bit more dynamic than the salon 2 (I heard them in the same room) but it could be psychoacoustic as I have head a few people comment they failed to tell them apart in a blind test. It also might be real as the 328be is more efficient and let the amp drive them better (MC462 for the demo, also an amp I own). 



I have read the thread about Salon/M2 double blind test done at harman which was very interesting to say the least. Which peak my interest on JBL. I demoed all the Klipsch line as the dealer is 10 minutes alway. They did not do anything for me. I disliked the Cornwall IV enough to have pause about buying the JBL 4367. Not that they could/should sound anything alike but the form factor is pretty similar and I have very little horn experience. 



Anyway I like hearing about the big JBLs. They always seem exotic but still in reach.
