JBL's Studio 6 series has been in the US market for only 4 years, during which time they have almost always been sold at full retail. Sadly, JBL is now closing out their high quality compression-driver Studio 6 series (only the in-room models; the in-wall versions are unaffected thus far) but that means excellent clearance pricing for consumers despite the tariff situation which has otherwise driven up consumer audio prices.
NOTE: there is no such thing as a "horn tweeter"---only "horn WAVEGUIDES." These JBL Studio and HDI series have *compression driver* tweeters. The entry level Klipsch that people sometimes complain of being "bright" or "shrill" have *metal dome* tweeters. Two very different animals.
The compression drivers with horn waveguides offer incredible dynamics and headroom which makes all the difference especially during movies and TV, providing a vividness and immediacy to the sound that dome tweeters and ribbons simply cannot match. Don't confuse these with the "horn" sound of entry-level Klipsch (which use metal dome tweeters not compression driver tweeters)...they are not "shouty," "harsh," or "bright" at all.

If you have never heard these or 5 series make sure you check the return policy from seller, especially at this price.
Like Klipsch they are an acquired taste/lore following.
