Same family: the JBL COL800 (larger model, ranked higher, rated 3.4/5).
Pros: A slim, compact column for restaurants, shops and meeting rooms, with wide coverage and a transformer for distributed systems. Manufacturer measurements give a 6.11 preference score with an ideal subwoofer and a 2.1dB reference band from a 598mm column only 93mm deep. Two racetrack woofers and a 1-inch tweeter give 160° x 110° coverage with a 10° downward tilt, and a 70V/100V transformer or 8 ohm direct mode suits restaurants, shops and meeting rooms. Measured bass extension of 106Hz (-3dB).
Cons: Bass measures 106Hz at -3dB and about 78Hz at -10dB, and output tops out at 111dB, so it is for speech and background music. The data is manufacturer supplied, rated low quality, and the standalone score is 2.64.
