JTR at an @AudioAdvice Live show was surprising and welcomed. We are big fans of the brand, especially their remarkable 18” subwoofers, which are among the best on the market. The issue with most JTR products is that they are HUGE and have a face only a mother could love. JTR has rewritten their own rule book with their new Kallos series, featuring an aesthetically pleasing, high-output satellite speaker that is only about 4” deep and a sealed, compact, high-performance 12” subwoofer with 33mm XMAX and 1200-watt built-in amplification. According to Jeff Permanian, this system is capable of a peak output of 123dB. The Kallos 465 (MSRP: $2,499/ea) boasts 97dB sensitivity with 800-watt power handling and a 90x60 coverage pattern.
