Reach the Peak of Audio Performance - JBL Summit Series is Here

At Safe and Sound, we believe that music is more than just sound—it’s an experience that should move you, body and soul. For decades, the name "Summit" has been reserved for JBL’s ultra-high-end legacy flagships, the K2 S9900 and the Everest DD67000. These legendary speakers defined the pinnacle of acoustic engineering.

Today, we are thrilled to announce that the summit has been expanded. JBL has introduced three brand-new models—Makalu, Pumori, and Ama, bringing that legendary captivating sound into a package designed for the modern high-end listening room.

The new Summit Series doesn't just replace older models; it carries the torch of JBL’s 80-year heritage into a new era, offering the same uncompromising dedication to live-sound impact while providing a refined, accessible design for enthusiasts who demand the absolute best.

Meet the New Summits: Precision Crafted for Your Home
Each model in the new Summit Series is inspired by a Himalayan peak and engineered at JBL’s Acoustic Center of Excellence in Northridge, California. All three share the same DNA: patented D2 compression drivers, High-Definition Imaging (HDI™) Sonoglass® horns, and advanced HC4 composite cone woofers.

The Flagship: Summit Makalu

The Makalu is a force of nature. As the largest of the new additions, this 3-way floorstanding powerhouse features a massive 12-inch woofer and an 8-inch midrange driver. It is designed to anchor grand listening spaces with unparalleled dynamic scale. Whether it’s the visceral impact of a drum kit or the sweeping complexity of a full orchestra, the Makalu reproduces every detail with absolute composure.  
Pricing: $44,999.90 per pair

The Balanced Performer: Summit Pumori

Named after "Everest's Daughter," the Pumori strikes the perfect equilibrium between power and grace. As a 3-way design with a 10-inch woofer and 8-inch midrange driver, it provides a soundstage that is both bold and exceptionally musical. If you want the signature JBL "live" experience with a touch more warmth and midrange fluidity, the Pumori is your destination.
Pricing: $22,999.90 per pair

The Compact Masterpiece: Summit Ama

The Ama proves that you don't need a massive footprint to achieve reference-grade sound. This 2-way stand-mount speaker uses an 8-inch HC4 woofer and a D2 compression driver to deliver staggering coherence and focus. For the audiophile who values the "heart" of the music—vocals, acoustic textures, and precise imaging—the Ama is a revelatory experience.
Pricing: $19,999.90 per pair

Why We’re Excited to Have Them at Safe and Sound
We didn’t just bring the Summit Series into our store to sell speakers; we brought them here to host an experience.

For years, we’ve heard our clients talk about the legendary nature of the Everest and K2 series, but their sheer size made them difficult to integrate into most living spaces. The new Summit Series changes that conversation. By scaling that professional-grade power into a sophisticated, beautifully finished cabinet, JBL has finally bridged the gap between a concert hall and your living room.

Hearing is Believing - Why you need to visit our auditioning room:

Visceral Impact: You don’t just hear these speakers; you feel them. The integration of the HDI horn and the new MultiCap™ crossover network allows these speakers to reveal subtle musical details that most systems simply miss.

Heirloom Quality: With carbon fiber baffle trim, soft-curved cabinet walls, and luxurious high-gloss finishes with platinum or gold detailing, these are pieces of art that anchor any room.

Personal Audition: Words can only describe so much. We invite you to visit our store, bring your favorite reference tracks, and hear the difference that 80 years of engineering makes.

The peak of audio performance has moved closer to home.
