And spikes are the feet that came with my stands.
I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, the aesthetic does nothing for me.....I think of what they charge for those things and throw up a little in my mouth

and review speaker B after a great exercise, no doubt there will be a bias in favor of speaker B.
I hadn't ever thought about the impact of endorphins.....
So yes, if you don't like black speakers, then you might rate those speakers ever so slightly worse than you would with a different color
Maybe there's a negative bias there(due to recent interactions)? .
There is assumption of competence there seeing how they follow the same measurements we do, and perform controlled blind tests. Yet this is what I said when I started to listen to the Revel F35 speaker:As for the Harman bias? Maybe there's a positive bias there?
Music direct does carry the 4367.

All humans are not dealers for Harman and have financial motives which is what you said you worried about.
And no, you can't mix me with the general population. I am not situated like you all. I am not protecting a purchase for example. I don't worry how much something costs. I get to play with a new speaker in my system every other day.
I am massively motivated by transparency and providing reliable data to audio scene. You all are not. One wrong move and years of work go out the window together with my reputation which is all I have left in retirement days. In other words, I can't afford to be biased like you all. And despite what you say, I absolutely can control my biases better than most people. It is part of my job, and training. It is
why many of you are here.
It is for a "reason." It is not randomly applied. It is not being used for example to differentiate between a bluetooth speaker and towers.
By your logic we should give a polygraph test to everyone to prove they did not rob a bank....
Oh, this is just the potential upgrade I've been waiting for!
I might be able to indulge my horn curiousity without shame!
Just in time for my bonus, too!
What are the specs?
Especially the sensitivity.
NVM, found the specs:

OK, I will recuse myself. Find someone else to test this speaker then.No....
By my logic, judges would recuse themselves from cases in which they have some personal connection.
Which they do.
It is a complete cut and paste from JBL. For some reason the page was not on their site but a cached version existed on Google. So I just copied it over. Other than the first line, the rest was not from me.Your front end on this thread sounds like a promotional advertisement as opposed to a more wait and see what your 7500 bucks gets you, which quite honestly, doesn’t on the face of it look like much. Upon reading the intro, I was kind of taken aback. Perhaps that’s what it was...not from you, but a cut and paste from JBL? If that was noted, I didn’t see it.
Back to the topic on hand the JBL 4349, I'm keenly interested in the measurements, for a reason beyond curiosity. I had the bigger brother, the 4367 in my home for about 6 months. I will keep my impressions till after the review.
Available used for half that amount. FYI

The manual and spec says 1,5kHz
The page is down. Maybe there is a disconnect between engineering and marketing, because that sounds like an awfully high crossover for 100 degree horizontal dispersion from a 12" woofer.
Yup, as I said Music Direct does carry the 4367.
My first thought when I saw Amir's thread title was to "@watchnerd" you, but I see you've found it already.

Synthesis SCL3 in wall has similar woofer width (2x5"), slightly wider horizontal dispersion, half the tweeter (single diaphragm), and 1.3kHz crossover specified crossover. That seems about right to me.
LSR708i is a little wider dispersion but also has a significantly smaller woofer, and 1.7kHz crossover specified.
