We are debating it behind the scenes. A member is interested but is catch-22 in that he wants to buy them if they measure well!

Ah, I really would love to see that one come through! I'm curious whether or not JBL have upgraded quality as well as price and if they can compete with Revels at the same-ish price point.

I no longer trust JBL to produce to the best of their abilities, which is sad.

HDI-3600.
Ah the mid-sized one, that would be an excellent choice, if it happens.
I'm very anxious to get some info on them.

Sadly I feel the same way under their new ownership. :(

Has anyone seen any measurements for the HDI series? I haven't seen anything yet, or a real review for that matter.

OK, a member has kindly ordered the an HDI-1600 for testing. So we will get that data soon..

Do you have access to the Revel M126Be? They are not too heavy :)

That is awesome. Many thanks to the mystery buyer. Expectations are high for that speaker!
Make that 3, much thanks to the buyer. That's the exact model I have my eye on. Keeping fingers crossed it's a good performer. ;)

Funny the intro at CEDIA of the HDI models has stirred quite a bit of interest around the web ???

I wonder how much (if at all) the Synthesis HDI differs from the JBL 6 series. The JBL's do not seem to be heading to Europe or NA (which is disappointing), but it seems to share some of the same technology as the Synthesis, at a much lower cost (they are priced more along the line of the series 5)
