the pro version of the century 100 was the 4312 which is now available in a mkll version and exported exclusively to asia. they can be found in the u.s. through collectors and they are unbelievably good.

Rich, You're Welcome. The Lansing library is a wonderful source of information. Especially for us JBL freaks. (I still own a pair of completely restored L-112s). They are an awesome sounding speaker. The crossovers were modified by Mark Levinson in 1982 and are 93db efficient @1 watt/1 meter. Levinson originally used the L-112 as a monitor speaker in his lab located in Woodbridge, Ct. I am presently using Energy Veritas 2.2s. An extremely "polite" speaker in relation to the JBL. Unfortunately, I lost my interest in JBL once Harman International took JBL over. IMHO, the company went straight downhill after that. But, pre-Harman, JBL was a VERY serious player in the loudspeaker industry. What a shame. |
Markubvt, If memory serves, the 4400A series was circa 1995. See if you can find anything here in the James B. Lansing library. http://www.lansingheritage.org/ |
How old are they? A bit confused as I've seen new, they looked new anyway, 4410's (not certain about the "a") within the past year and a half. They were @ a local DJ shop (3 drivers - fairly large woofer - maybe 24" high in utility cab's). If vintage I don't recall them, just the 4300 series. Did not listen to them, was just in/out visiting the repair shop's tech. |
