jbl xd outdoor SERIES
20% OFF both models
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
These are the outdoor brothers to the JBL Stage Architectural Series offering ceiling and wall-mounted speaker systems, the JBL Stage XD Series are all-weather speakers are designed for both outdoor and indoor use and are intended to be particularly flexible mounting solutions and high-dynamics sound.
Sustainable speakers
The JBL Stage XD Series models are the first repairable, IP67-certified outdoor speakers on the market. The vast majority of outdoor speakers are unserviceable. Meaning that often you cannot open the cabinets to service, or even if you were able to open the hood, replacement drivers and crossover parts are unavailable individually. These speakers are engineered to be disassembled and driver and crossover can be repaired or replaced, if they become damaged by weather or extreme use.
We think that’s a great move to improving products especially at reasonable price levels. Outdoors and the Ohio winters are a rough neighborhood for any outdoor speaker. Having service options is a welcomed engineering and marketing direction.
SUMMARY
The JBL XD Series is a thoroughly weatherized version of the acclaimed JBL Stage line and their ease of mounting, quality of build, long-term serviceability coupled with exceptional acoustic performance and reasonable pricing makes them our Outdoor Speaker of the Year for 2023.

ON SALE – Limited Time!
Promotion is available only through June 30, 2023.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The HDI Series is a showcase of JBL’s industry-leading acoustics technologies, delivering unrivaled performance in combination with elegant cabinetry and a modern design aesthetic. Think of the HDI Series as a home friendly version of the JBL studio speakers.
The HDI Series is a showcase of JBL’s industry-leading acoustic technologies, delivering high performance in combination with elegant cabinetry and a modern design aesthetic. The foundation of the HDI Series is JBL’s patented High-Definition Imaging (HDI) waveguide technology coupled with the patented 2410H-2 high-frequency compression driver. Together, this combination delivers incredibly realistic dynamics, lifelike imaging and the “you-are-there” presence that makes music and movies come alive. The embodiment of the modern JBL high-performance loudspeaker, in the home.
DETAILS, DETAILS
Designed and engineered in JBL’s world-famous acoustic engineering facility in Northridge, California, the HDI Series lineup is simple. Two towers, one bookshelf, one center and a subwoofer. All the speakers, save for the subwoofer of course, utilize the well regarded 2410H-2 compression driver.
The tower speakers are the HDI-3800 with three 8″ woofers and the HDI-3600 with three 6″ woofers. The bookshelf, HDI-1600 features a single 6″ woofer. The center speaker, the HDI-4500 features, and you guessed it, four 5″ woofers. All the speakers share similar woofer construction, featuring a massive magnet structure with an advanced aluminum matrix cone woofer that is exceedingly powerful, delivering dynamics and exceptionally fast and accurate bass. We are very impressed with the bass performance. This is bass with speed, weight and definition. All the HDI enclosures are heavily braced and provide a solid acoustic foundation.
CLOSING
Finishes for the modern streamlined curved cabinet are an automotive-grade painted high gloss black, or furniture-grade satin walnut or gray oak wood veneers. A black cloth, magnetically attached grille completes the elegant appearance. Leaving the grilles off, especially on the black, provides a sophisticated, yet industrial look. These are great speakers at their normal selling price, but at 40% off, they are an outright steal.

Q950’S + KUBE 12B “COMBO”
Save $350!
The Q Series is where KEF begins. The Q Series shows just how much sound a manufacturer can deliver on such a modest budget. The Uni-Q is a design approach of to create a true “point source.” A point source is type of speaker that features the sound originating from a single point, or source, not multiple points, such as with multiple drivers of midranges and tweeters. The Uni-Q driver array places the tweeter in the center of the midrange and bass cone, bringing the acoustic ideal of a single point source to reality. The acoustic benefit is a more accurate three-dimensional sound that’s dispersed evenly throughout the room.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that the KEF Q950s are some of the most accurate and articulate speakers you will find in this price range. They are extremely detailed speakers that allow you to hear things in audio recordings that you might not have heard before. Available in black, white and walnut, the Q Series offers an attractive lineup with designs that can be used for stereo or home theater. Couple these with the KEF KUBE 12b subwoofer and you have a full range system that will serve home audio or home theater very nicely indeed!

REVEL CONCERTA2 SERIES CLOSEOUT!
30% OFF THE ENTIRE LINE
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Concerta2 Series represents a significant evolution in speaker design and technology, building on the success of its predecessor while incorporating several new features. One of the notable changes in the Concerta2 Series is its closer relationship with the Performa2 Series. Revel, the manufacturer of both lines, used the Performa2 Series as a benchmark for the Concerta2 Series in terms of sound quality and overall performance. This has resulted in the Concerta2 Series being considered one of the top-performing speakers in its price range.
details, details
The Concerta2 Series features several innovations that contribute to its exceptional sound quality. High frequency response is supported by 1 inch aluminum dome tweeters that were derived from Revel’s Performa3 series, which provide high-frequency extension and accuracy. The series also features deep-anodized aluminum cone woofers and midrange drivers, which are designed to provide accurate and detailed sound reproduction.
In addition to the driver components, the Concerta2 Series also incorporates several other design elements that contribute to its sound quality. The cabinets are made from high-quality materials and feature extensive internal bracing, which helps to reduce resonance and distortion. The series also incorporates advanced computer modeling and simulation techniques to optimize the design of the drivers and the overall speaker system.
Revel’s drivers have always been a core element in their designs and that’s one thing that doesn’t change . Revel, unlike many of its competitors, builds their own drivers in house,, using an aluminum dome tweeter with both an acoustic lens and a broad wave-guide to extend its high-frequencies and match its dispersion to the deep-anodized aluminum cone of the mid/bass driver.
Those details are far from incidental, as they contribute directly to what makes the Concerta2 not just unusual but also really rather special for the price. There might be other speakers that cost about the same and look pretty much the same but precious few that can match the even, seamless integration and low-coloration that set the Concerta2 speakers apart from the crowd.
SUMMARY
Audio critics and reviewers around the world have praised the Concerta2 Series for its exceptional sound quality, with many noting its ability to reproduce a wide range of frequencies accurately , and evenly with great detail. Customers have also been impressed with the series, citing its build quality, elegant design, and exceptional value for the price.
CLOSING
Overall, the Revel Concerta2 Series of loudspeakers has represented a significant evolution in speaker design and technology, but will be replaced later this year with the new Concerta3 Series. The Concerta2 Series is 30% off and represents a tremendous value in both home audio and home theater speakers. Realize the reviews were about a speaker that sold at the original price, not at 30% off!
Highly recommended by Team Genesis.
