The JBL Classic Series has a new member: the JBL L42ms, a fully integrated music system with wireless streaming. It's designed to deliver the same sound as a pair of luxury JBL speakers without the need for a separate amp. That means Chromecast, AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth is built-in, and there's a 24-bit/96kHz DAC to deliver high quality, hi-res audio. There's HDMI-ARC, Ethernet, RCA line-in, 3.5mm stereo inputs and USB-A media playback to cover all audio bases.
As you can see, it's a pretty thing – particularly in its black walnut option (natural walnut is available too). It uses furniture-grade veneer, a discreet touch panel on top and JBL's black Quadrax grilles to deliver a unit that'll look great in pretty much any environment. But of course what really matters here is how it sounds.
