JBL K2 S9800SE Special Edition THX
This is an extremely rare offering for one of the most incredible speakers at any price, the JBL K2 S9800SE Special Edition and the matching cenThe 1500AL is built around an Alnico 5DG magnet. A 2-inch (50mm) aluminum shorting ring below the voice-coil gap, combined with fifteen 0.03-inch (0.8mm) copper rings and sixteen 0.06-inch (1.6mm) steel rings that form an inner gap ring assembly, effectively stabilizing the local and global magnetic fields - an engineering first.
The JBL K2 S9800 is a flagship model from one of the largest and best-known speaker brands in the world. JBL is one of America’s finest; its original Californian roots go right back to the 1930s, though it now operates under the Harman International banner, with equal success in both the professional and domestic audio arenas.
However, JBL’s strongest reputation as an audiophile brand is in Japan, which has enormous respect for hi-fi heritage and tradition. This particular loudspeaker is the latest in a succession of models that have been specifically developed with the Japanese market in mind, drawing on a combination of the company’s heritage and its latest technologies. Indeed, although JBL introduced the K2 into Europe in mid 2002, long after its Japanese debut, the company decided only very recently to launch this made-in-the-USA model in its home market.
