JBL Loft 50 Crosses From Woofers To Mids at 320 hz

This relatively high crossover point to the 4 inch midrange drivers, plus the fact there are 3 of them, should allow them to play plenty loud, for all but headbangers and Metal Heads ?

They JBL Loft 50's are rated at 250 watts RMS with 91 DB efficiency.

With 2 6.5 inch side mounted woofers playing all the way up to 320 hz, placement is certainly gonna be touchy. This may be the reason they did not sell, and are discontinued, and being blown out ?

Placed too close to a back wall, I can see how the speaker could sound overly warm and chesty, especially with the rear firing port. And, if one or both of the side mounted woofers are firing into a cabinet or TV Stand, and/or too close to a side wall, I can also see how they can sound like shit.

The dual side mounted woofers of the JBL LOft 50's can be both a curse, and a blessing, since they play so far up into the midrange.
