Short answer: the KEF Blade Two Meta. It ranks #3 of 228 floorstanding speakers by sound quality (rated 4.8/5) at $28,000 and is still sold new; the JBL 4367 ranks #16 (rated 4.6/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used. The JBL 4367’s replacement, the JBL 4369, is rated 4.7/5 at $25,000.
The KEF Blade Two Meta is the more accurate, deeper-bass option. Outstanding floorstanding speakers with a point source design, superb imaging and very low distortion at high volume. Its measured preference score, a predictor of how neutral it sounds, is 6.99 against 5.07 for the JBL 4367. Its bass reaches about 31Hz before falling 3dB, against 43Hz for the JBL 4367. The tradeoff: 2dB dip and slight resonance around 200Hz, also visible in KEF white paper and likely cabinet-related.
Why pick the JBL 4367: A studio monitor style floorstander with a 15 inch woofer and horn, flat sound, huge dynamics and easy to drive. The tradeoff: At roughly $16500/pair, this is a major investment: the reviewer recommends buying from a dealer with a liberal return policy.
Buy the KEF Blade Two Meta. It is rated higher for sound quality and still sold new, while the JBL 4367 is discontinued.
