I have owned several JBL's (L7, L200, Ti6k, Ti1k, to name a few) and even more other brands (Thiel CS5, Klipsch Epics, Sonus Faber Grand Piano Home to name a few). The Ti10k's are nothing short of amazing and have a permanent home in one of my listening rooms. I am currently running Krell gear (KAV 250a3 / Krell MDA 500). These suite MY taste perfectly. The highs are superb, the mids are crystal clear, and the Low's are authoritative, crisp and tight.

Kolumny poprostu wybitne, niesamowita namacalna góra pasma, analityczna srednica urzekajaca rozmachem. Piekna scena i prezentacja dzwieku. Jak jest bas na plycie to Tiki go przekaza w idealnym porzadku, super. Rewelacja |

Alreay read all comments on those beautiful pairs..Some claims "bright", some "too much bass", also some say "week bass" etc etc...If you can use those babies with Accuphase component you will see how all those "weaknesses" will be settled so well!!! No Krells,otherwise whole specturum leans to brighter..As a person who listened most speakers on this earth, from B&W Matrix 800 to JMLAb Utopias, from Kharmas, to Martin Logans, and so many high quality book shelves, those JBLs realy deserve 5 stars!!! One important tweak: If bass port driven separattely from the rest 4 ports you will be amazed..Just remove the bridge on bass port leaving the rest same..Then well controlled deep and middle and upper bass registers, as well as 3dimensional soundstage acquired! Any Nordost speaker cables will fit best! 6ohm is another advantage to drive those speakers! |

Strength:
Midrange (vocals), details, cabinets, quad-ampability
Weakness:
Bass depth, weight, connectors in the bottom, bright treble I bought these speakers pretty much on an impulse, as they were being sold for quite a low price in the same town I live. These are one monster speakers, weighing about 50 kilos each, and moving them without their original boxes is very awkward. But here they are now, honoring my living room with their pretty appearance.

Strength:
great looks
Weakness:
hook up the speakercables is not simple ( under)
Asolutly a stunning speaker!! This speakers are very gratefull for every improvement made into my set and they keep suprise me.. Started with yamaha, then NAD, and at this moment ADCOM (GTP860II, GFA 5500,GDV850) I've recently did an upgrade for all the connections and speaker cables to KIMBER and VAN DEN HULL. Again every improvement was a world of difference, ( I can only hear a small difference using the same improvements with my tannoy speakers) so I'm asking myself " how good can they actually sound?"( perhaps with a Mark Levinson...)
Similar Products Used: to good to compare with my tannoy speakers |

Strength:
good looking especially the beech color model.
Weakness:
Typical JBL sound and still have the brand feeling. Lacks focus and image and booming bass. I heard the model in the show room where they used some mid-end amps. Little disapointed but the price is very attactive, costing only US$4,000 relatively to the size and workmanship. Over-size bass might be due to incomparable speaker size and show room ratio. Still have some potential by using the right equipments. |

Weakness:
rather odd shape, 60 cm deep at groundlevel. I'm afraid that I utterly disagree with a previous reviewer who preferred the ti250 over the ti10k. I shall give a few examples that will clarify this. Similar Products Used: ti250 + ti250 classic |

I heard this model in Japan. It is obviously a cost cutting product. Come to closer and check up the weight from the spec, it is much lighter than it's predecessor Ti5000. It does not sound as good as Ti5000 or even Ti3000. But it is a pair of good speakers. I rather like to buy a pair of Thiel of similar price or pay more to buy a pair of Avalon or Arye speaker. They will give better image and transient response |

Not bad, of course. But not a real JBL. Not as good as a S3100, or a 250Ti, or a Century gold. The sound is not very "transparent". |

The best speaker JBL ever designed, and designed it is: a beauty to behold, a curved boat-like shape. 4 way-speaker, titanium tweeter and mid-range -a Revel Gem and Ultima look-alike-I compared them to Martin Logan Aerius I, Magnepan 2.3 and to my surprise the JBL bettered them both in detail, attack, crispness and detailed bass. |
