RMAF 2016: JBL Everest, Mark Levinson

There were no less than three (3) rooms showing Harman (JBL, Revel, Mark Levinson) products at RMAF. This was the JBL room with Everest speakers. It was in a horizontal configuration as you see which translates to handful of seats. I could only find an end spot so not idea. I thought I had captured some tracks but can't find them. If I do, I will post them.

Mark Levinson brand has really been re-energized with products they announced a year or two ago all finally shipping. I must say, it is strange (in a good way) to walk into a suite and see a "rack" of Mark Levinson electronics again!

On Everests, they can sound wonderful on some music (especially that of 50s, 60 and some 70s). It was after all the type of speaker used in that era. I liked the clear highs occasionally hitting me with very nice clarity.

BTW, the blue straps are what they use to lift them. Clever way to avoid having those heatsinks leaving a bloody impression in your skin! Not sure why they left them in place though after they put them on shelves.

Uh-oh... is that bent plywood in there?

I don't know what year this model is, but could be representative...

It didn't occur to me that the woofers were ported.
