JTR Kallos Speakers & Subs - Lifestyle w Reference Performance?

JTR at an @AudioAdvice Live show was surprising and welcomed. We are big fans of the brand, especially their remarkable 18” subwoofers, which are among the best on the market. The issue with most JTR products is that they are HUGE and have a face only a mother could love. JTR has rewritten their own rule book with their new Kallos series, featuring an aesthetically pleasing, high-output satellite speaker that is only about 4” deep and a sealed, compact, high-performance 12” subwoofer with 33mm XMAX and 1200-watt built-in amplification. According to Jeff Permanian, this system is capable of a peak output of 123dB. The Kallos 465 (MSRP: $2,499/ea) boasts 97dB sensitivity with 800-watt power handling and a 90x60 coverage pattern. 👉 Read our Full 2025 Audio Advice Live Demo Report: https://www.audioholics.com/trade-shows/audio-advice-2025-show-demo-report 🛒 Buy JTR Kallos: https://www.jtrspeakers.com/home-entertainment 🛒 Shop Audio Advice: https://audioadvice.io/3NQEIDf Recommended Subwoofers: Perlisten D15s: https://bit.ly/PerlistenD15s Perlisten R212s: https://bit.ly/PerlistenR212s Perlisten R210s: https://bit.ly/PerlistenR210s Arendal 1961 1S or 1V: https://bit.ly/Arendal1961sub Arendal 1723 1S Sub: https://bit.ly/Arendal17231Ssub Recommended AV Separates Trinnov Altitude 16: https://bit.ly/TrinnovAltitude16 Trinnov Amplitude 16: https://bit.ly/TrinnovAmplitude16 Trinnov Amplitude 8: https://bit.ly/TrinnovAmplitude8 Anthem AVM 70: https://audioadvice.io/40yMpFM Anthem AVM 90: https://audioadvice.io/3YySzDr Anthem MCA 323 Gen 2: https://audioadvice.io/3UQJBA2 Anthem MCA 525 Gen 2: https://audioadvice.io/4exQI7B Recommended AV Receivers: Onkyo TX-RZ70: https://audioadvice.io/4fbRoRs Denon AVR-X3800H 9.2CH AV Receiver: https://audioadvice.io/3AxgmeH Anthem MRX1140: https://audioadvice.io/3YzxZTl Anthem AVM 90 15.4CH Processor: https://audioadvice.io/3YySzDr Yamaha R-N1000A: https://tidd.ly/3ZnkEhf Yamaha R-N800A: https://tidd.ly/3OF64N5 Recommended Speakers: SVS Prime 5.1 Speaker / Sub System: https://audioadvice.io/3JZJOt5 SVS Prime Elevation Surround: https://audioadvice.io/35aZCdR Polk R700 Tower Speakers: https://audioadvice.io/3C0TK2B Monolith Encore T6: https://bit.ly/EncoreT6 Arendal 1723S Tower Speakers: https://bit.ly/Arendal1723s Arendal Sound 1528 Tower 8: https://bit.ly/ArendalTower1528 Arendal Sound 1528 Center+ 8: https://arendalsound.com/product/1528-center-plus-8/?refer=gds Arendal Sound 1528 Monitor 8: https://arendalsound.com/product/1528-monitor-8/?refer=gds Perlisten S7t: https://bit.ly/PerlistenS7towers Perlisten R7t: https://bit.ly/PerlistenR7t Perlisten R5t: https://bit.ly/PerlistenR5t Perlisten S3ic: https://bit.ly/PerlistenS3ic Perlisten R3ic: https://bit.ly/PerlistenR3ic Audioholics Recommended Cables: 250ft CL2 12AWG Speaker Cable: https://amzn.to/2vwS9QH 50ft 10AWG Speaker Cable: https://amzn.to/3DeMTT5 Locking Banana Plugs: https://amzn.to/2ZQt15x 9ft 4K HDR HDMI Cables: https://amzn.to/2WiIXeD THX Short Reach 48Gbps HDMI Cables: https://bit.ly/THXHDMI-short THX Long Reach 48Gbps HDMI Cables: https://bit.ly/THXHDMI-long Disclosure: Audioholics earns commissions from qualifying purchases with the Affiliate Links used in the description of this video.
