Project Everest DD67000
Introducing the Project Everest DD67000, an evolution of the much-lauded DD66000 speaker system. Using the most advanced technologies and world-class components, our engineers have created one of the world’s most sophisticated and sought-after speaker systems.
Under a program called Project Everest, JBL® engineers designed the ultimate loudspeaker system: the Project Everest DD66000. But they wanted to outdo themselves. Using the latest technologies, they created the DD67000. This three-way speaker features dual 15-inch (380-millimeter) three-layer (pure-pulp layers over and under a foam-injection core) sandwich cone woofers for articulate, authoritative bass response. Clear high and midrange frequencies come through a 4-inch (100-millimeter) pure beryllium compression driver. And a 1-inch (25-millimeter), pure-beryllium ultrahigh-frequency driver delivers sounds up to 60kHz – far above the range of human hearing.
Available in rosewood and maple, the Everest DD67000 stays true to our heritage: the world’s most coveted sound equipment.
Highlights
• Dual 15" (380mm) three-layer sandwich cone woofers for authoritative bass response
• 4" (100mm) pure-beryllium diaphragm for crystal-clear highs
• 1" (25mm), pure-beryllium diaphragm for extreme highs
• Extremely smooth and wide frequency response
• Proprietary Bi-Radial® horns
• 100 – 500 watts suggested amplifier power range
• Excellent terminals and system controls
• Bi-wiring capabilities
• Flawless enclosure construction (Less)

"Recommended amplifier power - 500 watts." :woot:

100 – 500 watts suggested amplifier power range

JBL engineers have designed the Project Everest DD67000 for serious audio output. We recommend that you power it with a separate AVR (audio/video receiver) or amplifier that can deliver up to 500 watts of power and no less than 100 watts, whether you’re using the speaker as a stand-alone unit or as part of a stereo/surround-sound system. It’s important that your selected amplifier has a very high current capacity and must be capable of driving a low-impedance load.
 
I think you have the amp part covered Joe. :)

With a sensitivity of 96dB, you might even drive these with your Carver's. Of course you probably won't get those woofers moving a whole lot.

Hmmmmm.

GAT/ART should do it :)
 
Those are monsters!! I'm guessing my little livingroom couldn't handle them.
Big banging woofers on those !!!
 
They are pretty massive. Too big for me. Sigh.
 
Joe, I was reading a thread somewhere that was comparing the JBL's vs. the TAD Ref1s. While the Ref1s won by points in certain dimensions, the poster believed the JBL's offered the more coherent and more enjoyable overall sound to his ears. You may have read it, but if not, I'll try to find the link for it.
 
Thanks Allen. I have not seen it, but would love to read it.

Thanks!

I listened to the D66000 last year at RMAF. They were being driven by Mark Levinson electronics. I'm sorry to say that I didn't like them and, I wanted to like them. Maybe it was the room. I grew up listening to JBLs at home. My father had JBL Paragon.
