If you haven’t seen it yet, we had a great review of the JBL SDR35 by StereoNet in Australia. It was reviewed and written before this product was Roon Ready Certified which happened earlier this month.

Winner of Stereonet's Applause Award, the JBL Synthesis SDR-35 is sampled here by Tony O’Brien, who said it was one of the finest A/V receivers he’s ever had the pleasure of reviewing. Below are a couple of excerpts from this stellar review:

"JBL is one of the more interesting companies found within its luxury product portfolio. Unlike other brands, JBL plays in several spaces, that distinctive badge equally likely to appear on an entry-level set of speakers as it is on some of the finest speakers and electronics that money can buy."

"The SDR-35 creates a massive, airy, open sound field – one that combines with excellent channel steering and imaging to drop the listener right in the middle of the action. Sonic detail is delivered in abundance, conveying all the subtleties of soundtracks and an excellent sense of placement in the sound field."
