I bought Ti 5000 from second hand in as new condition. With Leben CS 300F and Project turntable sound is perfect: warm,dynamic and natural in any kind of music. Leben is 2x15W and it's enough to feel pure beauty of winyls. |

Strength:
Powerplay!!
Weakness:
Biiiiggggg.... Love this speaker!!! If you like bass, this is a killer... Bought them after listening to the Ti250 Jubilees (model 2000). Very warm sound, unbreakable. Use them with 2 DENON POA6600a monoamps, DENON CD 3500, Audioquest MidnightII speakercable, Audioquest XLR Balanced cable. These speakers need A LOT OF POWER!!! The more, the better they sound. Big boy toy...have fun! Similar Products Used: None |

Strength:
A very resonance-free titanium tweeter. Two high quality drivers in a speaker configuration, for excellent medium range. A 12" tight woofer for natural bass sound. No distortion or stress at any dynamic levels.
Weakness:
Size of the speaker in a living room. Rubber foot must be replaced by spikes, while using a tight and quick 500 watt power amp. In the year 1996, I heard the JBL ti5000 for the first time in a demo room. At this moment I was thinking for buying a B&W matrix 801 mkIII, the reference speaker of B&W. After the listening session and comparing both speakers, I changed totally my opinion. The JBL had a much tighter an more natural bass sound. The tonal balance (high, mid and bass ratio)is one of the best I ever heard. The ti5000 brings every musicstyle (pop, jazz, rock, classical music, etc.)in an excellent way ! A Mc.Intosh MA6400 integated amplifier was the first amp. that I used. A Mc.Intosh C38 + MC150 combination resulted in tighter, more powerfull and a better controlled sound over all. Now I've replaced the MC150 by a MC500 power amp. On this amp, they have an impressive dynamic range, much more detail and an openess, transparance, what let me believe that the music is "real" now!! This speaker let me enjoy the musicality of my Mc.Intosh combination, and has realy no weaknesses. Similar Products Used: I compared the ti5000 to a B&W matrix 801 mkIII, Dynaudio contour 1.8mkII. |

Strength:
This speaker goes really LOW and always in control. Unless you turn the knob to unreasable level, music stays clear and crips. But this due to my amp and not the speaker. At the audio shop I''ve also tested it with a 400W amp. It almost blew my eardrums, you''ve gotta hear it to believe it!
Weakness:
Your neigbours won''t like these babies I bought a pair of these spaekers second hand. I got them really cheap, I think. The speakers are just so loveble, just great. I just a rega planet cd player and a Denson Beat 100 as Amp. This is a great combination with the Denon AVR-1800 which I use as for Home-cinema. This is really all any Home-cinema/music lover will ever need. Similar Products Used: jamo 707i, first model. Although nice speakers, no match for the JBL''s. :) |

Strength:
the jbl ti5000 is a very stronge speaker! the bass is so tight u wount belive it!! and the top and mid range is as powerfull and beutyfull as well :)
Weakness:
well the only weakness i´ve come up with, is my living room!! i use the thule ia250b , it has so much control of the speaker, that the speaker, that the accustic of my living room is spoiling the sound, but i´ve heard them in a real cool test room, and they sounde´d like a dream come true!! well i think that i said it all in the top tekst.............but one more thing.. Similar Products Used: well i must say, that before i use´d the ti5000 i had a couple of elac el 121 jet, and the sound from them to the ti5000 is of course no match, but still the sound "step" was not that big, and that surpriced me. but ti5000 is a fabolous speaker, and there is a looong way up to a equal speaker (if u like the sound of jbl) |
