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.

Anton,Why don't you go and hear them for yourself?

Buc,I read an article about this a few weeks ago.They use flea powered SET amps and place the listening seat between the speakers that are orientated directly at each other,kinda like giant headphones I guess.I can't see how you can get much enjoyment out of that configuration,but,to each his own.
Anton,Beware of backroom deals,you will usually get burned.I would be very wary buying from someone that would not let me try something out.BTW,35Hz is a very respectable measurement for a speaker and JBL is usually spot-on with their numbers.
