THE VERDICT

JBL’s upscale-looking HDI-3600 tower speaker delivers effortless, fatigue-free sound.

When I first ran across JBL’s HDI series loudspeakers at the 2019 CEDIA Expo, I was struck by the line’s upscale looks and substantial build quality. The brand’s new speakers seemed more akin to the Revel models also being shown in parent-company Harman’s sprawling booth than the budget-priced JBL Stage series towers Sound & Vision had reviewed earlier that year.
