Ordered one!
I ordered a jl5 after auditioning a jl2 at home which failed on the WAF

Peter...congrats :thumbsup:. Please keep us in the loop once you get it and let us know what you think. CAT is one of those very high-end but very low profile brands with little ecoverage/fanfare surrounding it. So real world experience would be much appreciated.
Here's some coverage from TheAudioBeat.com on the JL5 from CES: Convergent Audio Technology JL5 - The Audio Beat - www.TheAudioBeat.com http://www.theaudiobeat.com/ces2014/pics011514/cat.jpg Quote:

I can see why the other failed on the WAF. This one does, too. Ken Stevens needs to go to industrial design school, as he does not understand clean and practical industrial design. That looks simply ridiculous with respect to the speaker cables, interconnects, and the position of the cable jacks and binding posts. Big speaker cables coming off the middle of the side of an amplifier? Interconnects that plug in on either side of the front? Gimme a break! I wouldn't have it for failing the PCAF as well. Reminds me of some of the preamps where the IC's have to be inserted vertically. :icon_thumbsdown:

That is EXACTLY what I was thinking. Good luck with working that into a rack. |
Somebody got out of bed cranky this morning :D
I see both your points. This "design" will work better on a stand-alone amp platform in between or behind speakers with the main rack with other equipment off to the side. Or you would have to have pretty thin or at least flexible speaker cables and interconnects when the JL5 is placed in a stand. |
Not cranky, Cyril...that is a stupid design anyway you look at it.
