About the Item

The JBL Metregon Speaker Cabinet is an iconic piece of audio history, renowned for its distinctive design and exceptional sound quality. Meticulously crafted by industrial designer Arnold Wolf, the JBL Metregon is the first speaker system to offer full-field stereo reproduction in a moderate size suitable for the home or office. Two separate full-range speakers are placed at the ends of the orchestra, integrated by the curved refractor panel. Constructed from high-quality wood, the cabinet boasts clean lines and a timeless silhouette that epitomizes the elegance of mid-20th-century design. The use of premium materials not only enhances its visual appeal but also contributes to the speaker's acoustics, ensuring optimal and perfectly balanced listening experience to every person in the room. Its spacious interior accommodates the top-tier audio components that JBL is celebrated for. The front-facing grille, adorned with JBL's iconic logo, adds a touch of classic elegance while protecting the speaker drivers housed within. The cabinet's overall design emphasizes both the speaker's aesthetic presence in a room and its capability to deliver superior sound quality. Its timeless appeal and historical significance in the realm of audio equipment make it a prized possession for collectors and hi fi audio enthusiasts alike, representing an era of innovation and excellence in sound reproduction.
