As an owner since 2019, I think this speaker sounds good but as a product, half baked.
And no I did not use alcohol, benzene or whatever on or near the cabinet.
Just a bit of sunlight, not direct but close.
Saw this going on, I bought lacquer tung oil mix, had hard time in the living room for several days, cause no garage or such here.
Ethan Allen wood furnitures had absolutely no problem for more than a decade and JBL this in one third. So, better finish or warning to oil it in the manual would be helpful.
And again centering of compression driver on the horn and poor finish of the horn itself.
I knew this problem when buying it, 705 708 has it too, so no problem for me but that doesn't make this the speaker of the year so I'll point it out just in case somebody doesn't knows it.
