After an interesting three days at the 2017 AXPONA show, AV NIRVANA reporters Wayne Myers and myself made our way over to the JTR Speaker facility to pay owner, Jeff Permanian a visit. We got a good look around, Jeff showing us a little bit of what goes on under the hood. I picked up a Captivator 118 HT subwoofer for review. When I am done writing up this speaker, we are going to GIVE IT AWAY to one lucky forum member!

Check it out!

Captivator 118 HT being QC'ed. Each JTR Speaker product is thoroughly checked before leaving the facility. Grill is assembled, the sub boxed up and placed into my waiting vehicle.

Our site visits on the way home from AXPONA were a real treat. We were unsure at first about taking the extra time, but afterward were very glad that we did.
