High End Audio?

[Mononoke]

From the article:

The system comes standard with 2 dual JBL SR-X subwoofers and 2 full range JBL SR-X cabinets, the industry standard for high end outdoor audio.

If your idea of "High End Audio" is equipment best suited for the local biker club, then sure, this is it.
