Thanks for bringing this to my attention. The JL2 mark 3 uses the same driver stage we first used in The Statement amplifier.
We put this driver stage into the new JL5 amplifier, and we were shocked that the JL5 was in many ways better than the JL2 Mk2!
Of course we couldn't allow that to happen. So we put that stage into the JL2 amplifier to restore its rank in our product line.
The new mark three amplifier is cleaner livelier more dynamic more linear top to bottom, and now handily better than the JL5.
Picture though, that the new JL5 is actually better than the previous JL2! I'm VERY excited about that product!
