HARMAN Luxury Audio Group has announced Definitive, the Pacific Northwest’s premier luxury audio/video retailer, as the first U.S. dealer to carry the JBL Summit Series, a groundbreaking collection of ultra high-performance loudspeakers crafted for the world’s most discerning audiophiles.

Definitive leads a select group of elite dealers chosen to represent the JBL Summit Series, which includes the iconic Everest and K2 models alongside the newly introduced Makalu, Pumori, and Ama loudspeakers. Named after Himalayan peaks, these speakers combine JBL’s cutting-edge acoustic and material technologies to deliver a listening experience that is both technically superior and emotionally captivating.

“The JBL Summit Series is truly an emotional audio experience, one that connects listeners to music in the most powerful way,” said Jerry Calder, Sales Director, HARMAN Luxury Audio Group. “This is only the sixth Project Series in JBL’s nearly 80-year history, and it has been years in the making. Our engineers were tasked with creating the best JBL loudspeaker ever, and they delivered. Definitive represents the pinnacle of our industry, and we’re thrilled to partner with them for this launch.”

Definitive: A Legacy of Audio Excellence

Marking its 50th anniversary in 2025, Definitive has long been a trailblazer in residential audio and custom integration. Renowned for its Seattle Experience Center, the retailer curates products that blend engineering precision with timeless design—a philosophy that aligns perfectly with the JBL Summit Series.

“Just when we thought our lineup was complete, we asked ourselves: is there still a gap?” said Sean Skelly, CEO of Definitive. “What surprised us wasn’t just the performance, but the story. JBL’s legacy spans nearly eight decades, shaping how music is created and experienced. After visiting Northridge and hearing the Summit Series, the decision was clear. Our clients need to experience this.”

Icons & Innovators: A Celebration of Sound

To celebrate the JBL Summit Series debut and its 50th anniversary, Definitive will host an exclusive Icons & Innovators event on Sept. 18, 2025, at its Bellevue showroom. This invite-only listening session will allow VIP clients to experience the JBL Summit Series in a meticulously designed acoustic environment.

On Sept. 20, 2025, from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m., Definitive will open its doors to the public for an Open House. Guests can audition the Summit Series in a dedicated listening room and enjoy interactive experiences, including the “Blown Away” photo booth, which celebrates iconic moments in audio history. This event offers audiophiles a rare chance to engage with JBL’s most exclusive loudspeaker line in an immersive setting.

Press inquiries for either event can be directed to Louis Calli, Head of Marketing at Definitive.

Why the JBL Summit Series Stands Apart

The JBL Summit Series represents a milestone in audio history. For Definitive, adding these loudspeakers wasn’t about expanding their brand portfolio it was about elevating the listening experience. The series delivers not only unparalleled performance but also a balanced, timeless sound that resonates deeply with listeners.

This launch marks a convergence of legacies: JBL’s nearly 80-year journey in defining high-fidelity audio and Definitive’s 50-year commitment to delivering transformative sound experiences.

About the JBL Summit Series

The JBL Summit Series comprises three exceptional models, each inspired by the majesty of Himalayan peaks:

  • Summit Makalu: A commanding 3-way flagship floorstander, named after the world’s fifth-highest peak, renowned for its monumental presence and pyramid-like form.

  • Summit Pumori: A balanced 3-way floorstander inspired by Pumori, the “Daughter of Everest,” blending grace and power.

I made short movies with my stuffed animals as a kid, since then I knew from a young age I wanted to be a videographer. My parents always said I had a great eye for video/photo, so I made my job out of it. Now I make professional corporate video's. I love to learn all about new gadgets and electronics that come to the market, that's why I write/edit for "Best Of High End".
