Grace and ease
at any listening level
Superbly detailed, outstandingly dynamic
and capable of breathtaking power, the
Project K2 Series will reveal crucial sub-
tleties and emotional elements in your
favorite music that you've never experi-
enced before.
And it does so with grace and ease, even at
larger-than-life listening levels.
In celebration of the success of the JBL K2
S9800, we raise the bar even higher with the
K2 S9800 Special Edition by employing key
sonic upgrades (aluminum-metalized
polypropylene film capacitors) and an even
more luxurious finish. The critically acclaimed
K2 S5800 uses the advanced components
and technologies expressly designed for the
K2 Series in the service of your listening
pleasure. And by popular demand, the S4800
brings revolutionary K2 sound and styling to
small- to medium-sized rooms for superlative
fidelity and musical realism.
