| JBL 4367 shoutiness remedies? Well old thread but it might help newer owners. I have had this speaker for a week and I don’t really find them shouty but can understand why some feel that way. Two things that change it are toe angle and speaker height. Toe out works but o... | |
| JBL 4367 = Sleep Denervation Jonwolfpell, Yes, I think you are correct. This is my first horn experience in my own system so I can’t say if it is horns in general or if JBL has some magic sauce on these drivers. Either way I am hooked. I realize I am in the honeymoon peri... | |
| JBL 4367 = Sleep Denervation Roxy54, Lol, Shows how little sleep I have gotten! As a long-term member it should be clear typing on my phone is not my best skill. Thanks I have heard other similar types of horns that did not impress me much but these JBLs are better than ... | |
| Bang for the buck The 580 don’t reach too low in the bass and should be fine just a 1’ or 2 off the wall. They are a good balanced speaker and really special for the money. I would want to run subs with them. This cheap JBL subs kind of suck but they are super chea... | |
| Demise of bass quality in Main speakers All things being equal in quality (power to weight and linear throw) bigger is always better for woofers if your room supports low bass. I own a speaker with duel 8” drivers and one with a single 15” woofer. I also own 2 12” subs. The speaker ar... | |
| Revel F228be Well I can help. I own the Revel 228be (which I am selling but think they are amazing, sad but true more on this in a minute). I have owned B&W 703s (kind of like the CM10) and I own a Rotel class D amp and also have a McIntosh Mc462. the sh... | |
| Bang for the buck All those speakers mentioned are fine. But truly best bang for the buck is JBL. The JBL 580 is a $1600 speaker on sale for $600. Free shipping free return 60 day trial. They are great speakes and play well out of their price range. They don’t go r... | |
| Bang for the buck ASR is a good source and a lot can be learned from understanding measurements but not all that is important is measured. How do you measure bass texture and detail? How do you say which kids are more natural if they are both flat because there is ... | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? Daveyf, interesting I got into speakers around 2002 in college and things were already pretty expensive. The Wilson Sophia came out and I think it was around $12k at least by the time I noticed it. Interestingly as I have made more and more mo... | |
| The "audiophile gear" I REALLY need is a damn house. Not just a house but tucked in a basement helps. I like to listen loud (100db) from time to time just for a handful of tracks but it is nice. | |
| Speaker recommendations :-) JBL 4367, no really they are amazing I have been playing with a pair for a few days. I am a fan of the Sophia 3 but feel the 4367 betters it in every way. The bass is very textured and detailed from the 15” driver. They have the best highs I have ... | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? They looks sweet and I am sure they sound good. Luckily there are lots of good speakers coming out around the $5k mark for the new younger people if they are interested. While I have not heard them speakers from arendal sound, Mo Fi and even the n... | |
| SOUND-DIFFERENCE: adding Emotiva BASx A2m amp to MAIN OUT of Marantz 2226B I have one of those vintage Marantz that was my dad’s. I will have to look at the model number. Looks just like the one you have. They have a good sound/tone. Just keep it a use it unless you need more features or dislike the sound. Most of the im... | |
| Injecting one sub to Benchmark system… Benchmark runs both XLR and RCA outputs at the same time. You can use one of those to the subs and the other to your amp. You can also go in and adjust the voltage of the XLR with the pads to match the RCA voltage if you need to use an XLR to RCA ... | |
| Real world Loudspeakers what does very good cost ? There are lots of good speakers under $10k, they are just ignored on this sight. |
