They do look rather pedestrian; i.e. pro drivers mounted in a generic black enclosure. Not the most inspiring design. Is their sound deserving of the price is the question. As to the pricing, it's not as outrageous as I was expecting. I was anticipating five or six digit values. Given the insane markups on speakers if the same drivers were in a finely machined enclosure the cost would quadruple, with no added benefit to the sound.
JTR Speakers, why so much?
I keep hearing great things about these speakers and every time I got to look at the website I'm reminded of just how ridiculously expensive they are for what you get. Does anyone have experience with these and can somebody explain why the hell somebody would pay that much money for a speaker that looks like the red headed step child of a JBL concert speaker?
