They say one left in stock because there's probably one left in stock. Their availability goes something like Ships next day, limited stock, 1 left in stock, out of stock on back order. I bought an amp from them when it said 1 left. And fancy that it said out of stock the day after it shipped.

But think about it, they probably only ordered a small amount intentionally because of the high price. Im surprised its not out of stock already.

How can components have 150W RMS/600W max - thats subwoofer numbers lmao

???

My components are handling and are rated for 300 watts RMS. In other words I'm sending 600 watts to the pair...

its cause they're the 60th Anniversary Special Edition, not saying that makes it worth the money but the normal gti's can be had far less..

Those components are nothing even remotely close to the standard GTI components //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Those are JBL's flagship model. And really, they aren't horribly priced considering the market they were intended for. There's far more expensive components available, and there is plenty of competition for JBL in the $1k+ market for component speakers. Focal, DLS, Genesis, Alpine, Rainbow, HAT, etc etc etc.

Are they worth the price? If you are in the market for a high end pre-built 2-way component set from one of the world's leaders in loudspeaker design......then they are potentially worth the money.

Even if I had money out the ying yang, I wouldn't spend that kind of chedder on some componets.

Check that, I used to have money and I did spend close to that, but was on 4 sub woofers, lol!

In all honesty, JBL is one of the best loudspeaker companies in existence.

They have been engineering SQ setups for home/public audio for many many many years.

I have a set of GTO502 2way 5.25 on my shelf now. Those are some wonderful speakers if passed right. Feed them 125hz and up, and you will be hella happy.
