The new high-performance JBL LS Series loudspeakers share the design philosophy and signature Bi-Radial®-horn/compression-driver configuration of the widely acclaimed JBL Project speakers ­ K2® and Array ­ as well as of the Everest DD66000, the most uncannily lifelike musical instrument ever to bear the JBL name.
