Short answer: the Polk Audio XT60, if you are buying new. The JBL 4367 ranks higher than it (#16 vs #178 of 228 floorstanding speakers, 4.6/5 vs 3.5/5) but is discontinued, so only consider it used; the Polk Audio XT60 is still sold new at $458. The JBL 4367’s replacement, the JBL 4369, is rated 4.7/5 at $25,000.
What the Polk Audio XT60 does well: A budget tower with a woofer and two passive radiators that gives surprisingly deep bass for the price. The catch: Bass alignment Q (lfq 0.96) is an unusually high, underdamped figure for a tower speaker, consistent with owner reports of a slightly loose, boomy low end at higher volumes.
The JBL 4367 is the better-sounding pick. A studio monitor style floorstander with a 15 inch woofer and horn, flat sound, huge dynamics and easy to drive. Watch for: At roughly $16500/pair, this is a major investment: the reviewer recommends buying from a dealer with a liberal return policy.
Buy the Polk Audio XT60, since the JBL 4367 is discontinued and only worth hunting down used.
