In this SoundStage! Australia Lead-In, editor-in-chief Edgar Kramer delivers his first impressions of the new JBL Summit Makalu loudspeaker before the full written review arrives on SoundStageAustralia.com.
Edgar walks through the Makalu’s key technologies, including JBL’s new HC4 drivers, massive compression-driver horn, carbon-fiber baffle, and elaborate cabinet construction, while also discussing how the speaker compares with classic JBL designs he’s heard over the years. Most importantly, he explains why this new flagship may represent a significant evolution in JBL’s sound—combining the company’s trademark scale and dynamics with a new level of refinement, coherence, and soundstage depth.
The complete review is coming soon to www.SoundStageAustralia.com.
