I've grown up with a cool and hippie dad. He's a music lover in nature but rarely sings. What he loves doing is to set-up our sound system at home. Me and my oldest brother have witnessed the evolution of our "mini" home theater and saw different brands of speakers. One of the speakers that made special occasions and parties at home amazing are the JBL speakers.
So when I was invited to the store launch of Harman/JBL Ayala Fairview Terraces branch, I immediately said yes. The brand brings a lot of childhood memories and I'm excited to spread the news to all music lovers that they've finally opened a store for Northern residents of Quezon City. Scroll down to see the highlights of the event please :)

So what's the difference between Harman/Kardon and JBL? Well, based on my observation the first is perfect for the executives while JBL is for the young, wild, and free :) But of course, both brands cater to all music lovers. The Harman/Kardon home theater system is perfect for you dream house together with the more sophisticated speakers like Esquire, Onyx, and Soundsticks.
