JBL K2 5500 anyone?


It's really weird. They were supposed to be top of the JBL line (or second from the top) in 1993 yet there is absolutely NO info or reviews on them anywhere. What's the problem? Are they an absolute disaster erased from history? Anyone heard them? I'm in the market for a big floorstanders and the local guy sells them for a decent price.

Well, the 35 Hz response of 5500's is what's puzzling me. Since I have a rather big room and want my speakers to have a really big and low bass. Currently I'm having JBL L150s and while they are far from the greatest speaker JBL ever made I simply love the power of their bass and the stunning realism which they give to the drums sound. That's what makes you addictive to JBL sound and frankly I don't want JBL speakers which doesn't have that kick-ass bass.
Tpreaves, the guy just stores them without a room or a system to show them. And since they weight am almost 100 kg it's he will not give them for an audition.
Fplanner2010, I guess I'll have to pass to. 35 Hz is not serious for speakers of such size and anyway, my room is almost 50 sq.m.
