I'm guessing the good stuff falls under JBL Pro, which has a different site. Doesn't seem to have a German translation, though.

Do you think that my expectations in the year 2021 are to high that i expect to have one portal that directs me?

Could also be under ‘synthesis’, I believe JBL Europe is based in Germany.

JBL/Harman is pretty much dead in The Netherlands. Apart from the 300/500 series there is hardly anything out there. Its only a handful of dealers. I wanted Infinity Reference speakers for surround, but that brand isn't sold here.

This Harman distribution problem in Germany (and guess also in other European countries) is unfortunately very old and made me personally ignore most of the their good products, what a shame...

Welcome to the muddled marketing and obtuse selling ways of JBL/Harman.. I would have thought the Samsung ownership to correct this . Alas!

No that different from even the Harman USA or Harman Japan or ...?

in that case, contact Qualtron (near Rendburg). They are an official distributor for the JBL Synthesis line of products (this should include all hifi speakers).
Their main business is supplying entertainment and cinema systems for superyacht builders in northern Germany and the Netherlands.

The US websites arent clear on this particularly either. I just don't think they're in the home stuff in the long term. They didn't release the Studio 6 series here in the US....and HDI series is perhaps a bit overpriced....

End of December 2020, I where very interested in their new HDI 3800 & Revel speakers and struggled also to find a distributor in Germany.
I eventually found a guy from there Marketing Dept. in Hamburg but he wasn't very helpful/efficient in the end.

Then, I had contact to a very helpful and very kind guy in the Netherlands :

Reference Sounds
Zijdelweg 19
1187 ZM Amstelveen

https://www.referencesounds.nl


Their webpage says official importer of JBL Synthesis :
..."Wij zijn als officieel importeur dan ook trots om Mark Levinson, Revel, JBL Synthesis, Lexicon, Ayre Acoustics, Wilson Audio, Dan D’Agostino Master Audio Systems en Transparent Cable in de Benelux te vertegenwoordigen. Onze producten zijn te beluisteren via een geselecteerd dealernetwerk."...

As he was just in the middle of moving to its new location/demo room, he arranged however that I could listen the speakers in Brussels.

Very efficient, helpful and kind to me.
I am happy to recommend.

So the M2 isn't available there?
So I was wrong apparently, but I don't shop hi-end hifi. I was interested in their A130 speakers at one point. HIFI Lausanne is close to me
not distributors, but dealers

HIFI Lausanne

Switzerland
Phone: +33 21 802 23 23

, nice to know about a new kid on the block, anyway. (Edit: typical $2,000-cable, $20,000-DAC peddler by way of a hi-fi store like so many around here, so I'll pass).

I ended up importing from the UK (pre-Brexit issues) because their pricing was much better than the Dutch dealers. I don't blame that on the dealers, because if Harman doesn't push their brands nothing is going to happen.
