The LS 60s are in Portugal! Great job John. As always. Thanks for all your work to get these done.
The LS60's are in Portugal! Great video.
Love your enthusiasm John! Nice review.
I’ve just got the JBL 4305P smaller brother to this. It has blown me away how good it sounds, over Airplay. I had Klipsch the fives and KEF LSX II, and the JBL’s are better in every way.
Noted, thank you. I'm thinking about getting a pair JBL instead of the 7s or 9s
Anything is better than The Fives, I own the Nines and it's a game changer.
Great review, as always. Also, beautiful changes in the room. The Samsung Frame on that wall is just amazing.
Ah, and… the LS60 are in Portugal 😅
Thank you sir for another great review!
Great video as always. Very informative. Oh and don't forget those LS60 in Portugal!
Missed my darko fix :) nice video. Hope you had a good and well deserved break
The lx60 are in Portugal! Well done video, John. Exciting sounding speakers!
"Cable vomit" is a succinct, stunning and poetic description of what lurks behind and hopelessly plagues our audio gear.
I'm not sure if its the precursor or the result of a cable salad. PS the LS60's are in portugal
In the pro world we called it "the rats nest"
Every custom PC's internal cable management be like:
opportunity to flaunt your pantyhosed stringy-thingies :)
It's more like a writhing, boiling pit of snakes in my system. I have to wear stout gloves in case I get bitten, and often have to distract an xlr cable with my left hand while trying to unplug it with my right.
The LS60 are in Portugal.
An informative and entertaining video, as always. Just chiming in to express my sincere appreciation for your mentions of Talk Talk in your last couple of videos. Hoping this exposes more of your audience to their work, particularly their later material.
The sound effect you used to mask whatever frequency you said instead of *28hz was the synth from the beginning of Bizarre Love Triangle. Unmistakable! Lol
Glad I'm not the only nerd who picked up on that 😆
The LS60s are in Portugal!!! I enjoyed yet another great review! Thanks!
Very interesting review, especially at the very end when you talk about what speaker design or size tends to work best for this room. had a similar challenge with finding the right size speaker for my mixed space, and finally rested on a slim dynaudio tower because that's what sounded best.
That turntable... wow. Review incoming I hope 🙂
The LS60s are in Portugal. I stuck it out 'til the bitter end ;) Another great video!
The LS 60's are in Portugal.
Thank you for the videos and your insight John 🙌
Great review! (THe LS60's ARE in Portugal). Plus you always have the most interesting music in your videos.
The LS 60 are in Portugal! Another great review. Thank you
😂 The LS 60 are in Portugal!!! 😂. As always, great job on the review…. And yes stayed til the very end of the video as always….
Now back to work!!
“The LS60 are in Portugal” …Another fantastic review as always! These all in one streaming active speakers are becoming more and more appealing as the technology advances. At this price point, I would love to see a comparison done between these and the active streaming Elipson W35xi …fingers crossed 🤞 Thanks @DarkoAudio for your continued quality UA-cam content! Cheers from 🇨🇦
The LS60s have ditched the studio and jetted off to Portugal, sipping port wine and working on their tan while the rest of us toil away in the audio lab.
Great video as always. LOVE 'good' JBL sound (I love my old SVA-2100's still to this day) Would love for you to list those tracks in the description 😃 "The LS60 are in Portugal"
Thanks John, there is something special about large stand mounts! I definitely like the idea of the inputs going into the master speaker rather than both. I also love the JBL blue baffle with wood surround, I agree the stands let them down a little. On aesthetics, in my opinion the best looking active at the moment has to go to the Super Wax Mini by Pitt & Giblin, drop dead gorgeous, I'm hoping to get a demo soon. The LS60 are in Portugal. Obrigado !
The LS60's are in Portugal! Great video as always.
The LS60 are in Portugal! Fun as always, thanks!
The LS60 are in Portugal. Awesome review!
Since we are talking Future-Fi (love the term!), I am curious about your take on the JBL’s vs the also tested Dynaudio Focus 30’s.
Great video’s and also loving the podcasts!!
've been waiting for 4329p for quite a while, great job jbl
The LS60s are in Portugal. Thanks for another great video John, but sticking with my Mission 770s 😊
Love how you slipped Bizzare Love Triangle in there! Age of consent or Ceremony are my New Order jams. Also, I do not believe that HDMI has been widely adopted in a studio environment, a place where these JBL's were meant to do their business.
Ls60 in Portugal. Great review as ever. 🌟
LS 60 are in Portugal. Always go all the way! Thanks JD.
Thanks John, and indeed the LS60 are still in Portugal ;-)
The ls60 are in Portugal. Another great review. JBL’s look sweet.
I have far too much electronic and indie rock in my collection thanks to John😂 So this episode’s mix was refreshing.
The LS60s are in Portugal!
Thanks for mentioning the music you listened to. Ever so often I find gems that I love to bits!
Add-on to this video:
- The JBL 4329P are also available in white
- The Buchardt comparison might be rather A10 (also having digital amps/ PowerDACs) than A500 in my opinion
- I agree that the compression tweeter and classic ported paper cone woofer are a refreshing alternative to the Buchardts or passive speakers that are lively
- JBL could easily scale this speaker up to a 12 inch + big horn (still two-way) with the same electronics. We'll see if they ever do.
The LS60 are in Portugal. Great job. Very entertaining.
The LS60's are in Portugal. Excellent infotainment as usual.
The LS60 are in Den Haag!
The LS60 are in Portugal. I don't like the JBL aesthetic but would love to listen to it. Good video! 🙂
Talk Talk - Laughing Stock is one of the most difficult albums at first, but after many listens, you get it.
Its predecessor ' Spirt Of Eden' is a masterpiece.
You're back, finally! :)
That Surface Studio looks pretty ...and the LSFs are in Portugal 😊😊
The O’Jays! 🔥
Love the Global Communication release. Middleton and Pritchard at their best.
John, you’re back! “The LS60 are in Portugal”.
The LS60 are in Portugal. Nice review!
Another great review even if "The LS60's are in Portugal".
Awesome channel!
Can anyone tell me what beefy stands those Hsu DWX are on? And yes, the LS60s are indeed in Portugal.
I really appreciate you sharing the music you used for testing. I’m trying to expand my music library.
The Ls60 are in Portugal.
Edit: Also I appreciate your comment about large stand mount speakers being a category unto their own and being superior to the other two kinds in some spaces.
LS60's are in Portugal. Thanks for the video.
Very nice review.
Still very happy with my DA Focus 30XD.
Yes, they are only analog, digital or wireless in. For my set-up that work great in combination with a Linn Akurate DSM. The DSM gives me all inputs/outputs I need, with just one coax cable going to the Dyns.
O, the Keff’s went south 😁
I have the 4305Ps and cannot recommend them enough. Amazing.
Great, balanced review. Thank you.
"The LS60 are in Portugal"
The LS60 are in Portugal! …I keep forgetting to ask what the SPL metre is on your iPhone. I thought you mentioned it one time, but I can't find the video.
The LS 60s are in Portugal. Great review.
The LS60's are in Portugal...but should be in my house! Stay well mate.
The LS60 are in Portugal.
Have a nice weekend, everybody.
The LS are in Portugal. At least, that’s what I’m hearing… Thanks for the video, John. I may never buy an active speaker any more expensive than the little Bluetooth unit in my bathroom, but I like to know what’s going on in the world. Now that my Klipsch Forte IVs are broken in, I’ll probably stick with them for the foreseeable future. 🎉
The LS60s are in Portugal - although I think they should be in my living room in Pretoria, South Africa 😂
The LS60 are in Portugal… wish they would do an active version of the retro look. Would love an l82 classic active with those quadrax foam grilles!
The LS60 are in Portugal !! AND --- A query: Which powered (and maybe streaming) speaker you tested that does provide a more forward midrange, where you mention the JBLs lacking? While also, hopefully, not compromising much on dynamics, base response and treble detail. Obviously in some non-linear (haha) combination of those factors. No "perfect" speaker exists. Thanks. Will appreciate reading your thoughts.
Were the Genelecs calibrated? And maybe give your thoughts on Genelecs approach to room calibration.
"The LS60's are in Portugal." Great review, as always.
I do like a speaker with dynamic ability. BTW, The LS60 are in Portugal. As a bit of nostalgic fun (for your room), try a pair of ADS L810's with your favorite amp/DAC etc. Use your speaker stands and be pleased.
awesome review and awesome speakers. To be honest, I'm still a little bit anxious about the reliability of such packed speakers. I know, if my separate compononet brakes down then I'm left without music as well, but at least less shipping costs. Maybe a question for a 10 more thoughts video? hehe thanks for the review
edit: The LS60s are in Portugal
I always watch to the end JD you should know that by now 👌😂😂
LS 60s are in Portugal, nice video.
Your Front wall looks different… are those wood slot acoustic panels?
i would have guessed the P stood for passive :) and are the speakers power inlet two pin? no earth/ground?
The LS 60z are still in Portugal and another fine broadcast.
The LS 60 might be in Portugal… but the Thorens TD 124 DD is here - and man, that is some sexy piece of gear. 😊
Nice work. DbA or DbC?
The LS60 are in Portugal, enjoying the sun ☀️
The impressive dynamics are definitely part of the JBL's "house sound". My HDI-1600's are a definite showstopper material (for the price) on this department for sure. Especially the punch of the spearkers is *chef's kiss*.
Do any active streaming speakers have a headphone jack? There’s a hell of a case to be made for system in a box, and maybe if I wasn’t already heavily invested in mix and match separates I’d want to go that way. But I like having my main system support my headphone habit as well, either on a separate amp or from my pre. Not everyone has the LS60 in Portugal.
The LS60 are in Portugal. :) But are they near Porto?
LS60 in Portugal…nice video, thanks
do you get that 3d holographic soundstage like you are in the venue?
Until the bitter end! Always.
Thanks for the Video and what did you think about the Buchardt A10 vs the Jbl thanks.
I've never heard the A10.
The LS60 are in Portugal. Do people leave part-way then...??
First of all, the LS60s are in Portugal! Good review, John, of a cool and convenient product. A little pricey though, and I agree with you on the shabby remote/short interconnect cable issue; unacceptable for a 4 grand product! BTW, really dig that Thorens, looks like an old broadcast ‘table…..👍
thank u
The LS60 are in Portugal...near where I live, in A Coruña, Galicia.
The LS60 are in Portugal! 🎵
How would you compare these to the much cheaper Klipsch The Nines?
I want a passive version of these.
The ls70 are in prtugal!...... how do the jbl play at low volumes?
Appropriate video for July 4th 😜
The LS60s are in Timbuktu. Thanks, John.
For the people who wait patiently for an all in one. HDF cabinets with a great transducer choice complimented with hi end cross overs. Then coupled with high end class D amplification. All bundled with the software to make living without extra gear easy?
I’ll keep waiting and watching the offerings.
This is an evolutionary period in component building.
How great do you make it without being better than single components.
"The LS60 are in Portugal". Good review.
The LS60 are in Portugal, in case you forgot.
What wall panels are those?
The LS60 are in Portugal. They are also in my office. 😊
Who's in Portugal? Why, the LS60 of course! Interesting video, as always.
The LS60's are on holiday in Portugal!
The LS60 are where? Portugal Thanks again
