JBL HDI-3800

The JBL HDI-3800s are the first set of speakers that have been able to fully transport me into a recording. I'll give you an example. A week or so ago my wife and 8-month-old stepped out so I was really able to crank these puppies to see what they could do. I put on Stevie Ray Vaughn's "Tin Pan Alley," which is a great test of dynamics, soundstage, and atmosphere. Though Stevie Ray isn't in my normal listening rotation, I've listened to this countless times as a speaker test track but this time something changed. As my Gen Z brethren would say, "it hit different tho." After cranking the volume to concert levels I closed my eyes let myself see what happened. About 15 seconds in a weird thing happened and my sense of the speaker location kept moving further and further back until it felt like I was sitting on the top balcony of the venue and listening live. The tangible sense of space, the intense live music sound pressure, the clarity were all just incredible. I was fully transported into the venue until my cat walked up and meowed, which was completely disorienting because I was once again on my couch in my listening room and not front row of the top balcony at Fox Theater in Oakland, which is where my ears and mind had taken me. It's an experience I've been chasing for years of buying audio gear-that truly transformative experience. The JBL HDI-3800s did that.
