Short answer: the KEF Blade Two Meta. It ranks #3 of 228 floorstanding speakers by sound quality, rated 4.8/5, at $28,000. The JBL 4369 ranks #7, rated 4.7/5, at $25,000, $3,000 cheaper, which does not close the gap in sound quality.
What the JBL 4369 does well: A large studio monitor style floorstander with a 15 inch woofer and horn tweeter that is very easy to drive and plays loud. Watch for: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared with ranked speakers.
Why pick the KEF Blade Two Meta: Outstanding floorstanding speakers with a point source design, superb imaging and very low distortion at high volume. The tradeoff: 2dB dip and slight resonance around 200Hz, also visible in KEF white paper and likely cabinet-related.
Buy the KEF Blade Two Meta. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $3,000 you would save on the JBL 4369 does not close the gap.
Worth knowing: the JBL 4369 has not been measured yet. Its rating is estimated from related models, with a likely range of 4.5 to 4.9, so treat this verdict as provisional.
