JL ZR components

Since when is JL Audio not a "speaker company"? They have been making exceptional speakers for quite some time, I owned my first set back around 94-95 (pre-XR, VR, TR etc.), and they sounded great (used silk domes rather than the current Aluminum). Didn't Scott Budwala win an Expert world championship using them a few years back in his 240? Not that that proves they are anything special, but I would say they are at least a speaker company...?

^^ different strokes for different folks. I've also heard the XR series by JL and there wasn’t anything that stood out to me. I in fact heard the XR speakers in JL's 300C demo car at ces and the speaker was muddy (mid base distorted) all around unimpressive. Not sure about the rest of there line up, as I said I'm not sure how the ZR's are, they may well be great but I haven't heard them yet.
What’s with the bull**** arguments all the time? If I wanted to bash a company I wouldn’t pick one so popular so that every JL fan out there could put in their 2 cents.

Best sounding at CES? They were in a display box at CES. Not yet released as I was told. Maybe the rep I spoke to in their booth was misinformed, as was I at that time.
No sense arguing, I like everyone has an opinion on a product. Guess it’s a matter of what you’re comparing them to.
For the record I never said they don't sell speakers, I said I'm not sure if there a speaker company YET..( as in there not known for there speakers ) however I did compliment them on what they are known for.

"But, you can still build speakers in Germany... all of our XR's and ZR's are built there."
Direct comment from : http://www.carsound.com/cgi-bin/UBB_...ile;u=00000029
So JL has there speakers Made by MB Quart, Or MBQuart/MAXXSONICS now I guess. So you get to buy Mb Quart speakers rebadged instead of just buying MB quart speakers at Future shop or whom every sells them these days.
Pin head< guess the name says it all, know your **** before your square off.
" p.s. i sell there speakers quite regular
oh i forgot they don't make speakers "
This wasn’t a fight I wanted, I only had my opinion.
