Hi all.
I went to bestbuy yesterday (actually I go almost every week) and saw a couple of things that I thought interesting and worth a mention.
Has anyone heard the new JBL E30's? That is one sharp looking little bookshelf! I saw it in cherry and was very impressed with the finish. It is a little two-way, a little bigger than an rti28, smaller than an rti38. Looked to be a 6" woof and one of the 1" titanium tweets. But they are bi-ampable- pretty surprising in a speaker at this price point (I think $300 or so a pair). Just wondered if anyone has heard them.
And does anyone know if Harman bought KLH? They have a KLH 6.1 AV receiver there that looks almost exactly like a Harman/Kardon. They have to be using some of the same components. Maybe they sold off all of the parts to JBL Cinema Propacks that you see all over ebay. Just thought it was kind of interesting.
