What do you get when you mate a 14″ woofer with a huge horn-loaded midrange driver and a tiny horn-loaded tweeter? The JBL Synthesis 1400 Array! This is truly a FULL range speaker that provides startling dynamics right down to the lowest octaves. Is is also capable of wonderful delicacy, even at low volumes.
