I’ve just got the JBL 4305P smaller brother to this. It has blown me away how good it sounds, over Airplay. I had Klipsch the fives and KEF LSX II, and the JBL’s are better in every way.

Noted, thank you. I'm thinking about getting a pair JBL instead of the 7s or 9s

The sound effect you used to mask whatever frequency you said instead of *28hz was the synth from the beginning of Bizarre Love Triangle. Unmistakable! Lol

Very interesting review, especially at the very end when you talk about what speaker design or size tends to work best for this room. had a similar challenge with finding the right size speaker for my mixed space, and finally rested on a slim dynaudio tower because that's what sounded best.

“The LS60 are in Portugal” …Another fantastic review as always! These all in one streaming active speakers are becoming more and more appealing as the technology advances. At this price point, I would love to see a comparison done between these and the active streaming Elipson W35xi …fingers crossed 🤞 Thanks @DarkoAudio for your continued quality KZfaq content!

@johnpischedda6951 2 күн бұрын

Thanks John, there is something special about large stand mounts! I definitely like the idea of the inputs going into the master speaker rather than both. I also love the JBL blue baffle with wood surround, I agree the stands let them down a little. On aesthetics, in my opinion the best looking active at the moment has to go to the Super Wax Mini by Pitt & Giblin, drop dead gorgeous, I'm hoping to get a demo soon. The LS60 are in Portugal. Obrigado !

Thanks for mentioning the music you listened to. Ever so often I find gems that I love to bits! Add-on to this video: - The JBL 4329P are also available in white - The Buchardt comparison might be rather A10 (also having digital amps/ PowerDACs) than A500 in my opinion - I agree that the compression tweeter and classic ported paper cone woofer are a refreshing alternative to the Buchardts or passive speakers that are lively - JBL could easily scale this speaker up to a 12 inch + big horn (still two-way) with the same electronics. We'll see if they ever do.

Very nice review. Still very happy with my DA Focus 30XD. Yes, they are only analog, digital or wireless in. For my set-up that work great in combination with a Linn Akurate DSM. The DSM gives me all inputs/outputs I need, with just one coax cable going to the Dyns. O, the Keff’s went south 😁

The LS are in Portugal. At least, that’s what I’m hearing… Thanks for the video, John. I may never buy an active speaker any more expensive than the little Bluetooth unit in my bathroom, but I like to know what’s going on in the world. Now that my Klipsch Forte IVs are broken in, I’ll probably stick with them for the foreseeable future. 🎉

The LS60 are in Portugal !! AND --- A query: Which powered (and maybe streaming) speaker you tested that does provide a more forward midrange, where you mention the JBLs lacking? While also, hopefully, not compromising much on dynamics, base response and treble detail. Obviously in some non-linear (haha) combination of those factors. No "perfect" speaker exists. Thanks. Will appreciate reading your thoughts.

I do like a speaker with dynamic ability. BTW, The LS60 are in Portugal. As a bit of nostalgic fun (for your room), try a pair of ADS L810's with your favorite amp/DAC etc. Use your speaker stands and be pleased.

awesome review and awesome speakers. To be honest, I'm still a little bit anxious about the reliability of such packed speakers. I know, if my separate compononet brakes down then I'm left without music as well, but at least less shipping costs. Maybe a question for a 10 more thoughts video? hehe thanks for the review edit: The LS60s are in Portugal

The impressive dynamics are definitely part of the JBL's "house sound". My HDI-1600's are a definite showstopper material (for the price) on this department for sure. Especially the punch of the spearkers is *chef's kiss*.

Do any active streaming speakers have a headphone jack? There’s a hell of a case to be made for system in a box, and maybe if I wasn’t already heavily invested in mix and match separates I’d want to go that way. But I like having my main system support my headphone habit as well, either on a separate amp or from my pre. Not everyone has the LS60 in Portugal.

For the people who wait patiently for an all in one. HDF cabinets with a great transducer choice complimented with hi end cross overs. Then coupled with high end class D amplification. All bundled with the software to make living without extra gear easy? I’ll keep waiting and watching the offerings. This is an evolutionary period in component building. How great do you make it without being better than single components.
