| JBL L300 - true myth? Drop in replacement = JBL 2216nd. It blows away the original 2231 or 2235 hands down! | |
| JBL 4349 opinions? Dang Joe. I can't believe you got rid of your 4367's! My dream speakers. | |
| JBL 43xx va Harbeth 40.x GTE. Once you listen to one of the large JBL speakers, you realize that most other speakers compress the hell out of the music. I am sure the Harbeth is a very accurate speaker, very flat in response. I have a pair of modified JBL 4333B's. They pl... | |
| New JBL Studio Monitors (4349) Coming in September Dave. My 4429's are probably early ones. I bought them as demo models in 2016. I thought the L100 Classics had the same woofers, but looking at them I don't think they do. Krells are supposed to be very high current capable amps, so it doesn't sur... | |
| New JBL Studio Monitors (4349) Coming in September I have a pair of 4429's that were in my main system for several years. They were displaced by other project speakers. Relegated them to a secondary system with a Yamaha CD player and a Denon PMA2000. I have always thought the bass was somewhat ill... | |
| To horn or not to horn Mr Decibel. The thing that I notice about horns is, one can just about measure how far the microphone is from the recorded object. Most music is "mixed" into a composit recording. Horns and even a good direct radiator system can delineate each tra... | |
| JBL 4429, deep bass ? It does not look like I can insert the PDF file here. The rolloff starts at 40Hz, but judging from the file date the speakers were only a couple of months old. I know the bass improved quite a bit after a year. | |
| JBL 4429, deep bass ? Zowie. I would think the cabinet volumes are close. But you could research that. I have a plot of the response of the 4429s' in my listening room. I will look for it and submit it if I can find it. To my ears the 4429s' seem to dive into the 30 ra... | |
| The midi range, not the tweeter, is the most important driver in a speaker. Agree. Erik. That is where you herring is the most delineated. | |
| JBL 4429, deep bass ? You know that the L100 Classic and the 4429 share the same woofer. One has a white damping material sprayed on the front. The other is sprayed on the back. Low end should be the same. | |
| Does anyone have experience with Devore O/96, Tannoy Legacy Cheviot and JBL 4429? As an owner of the 4429s'. I think that they are excellent speakers. I have not heard either one of the others. Tannoy used to be owned by Harman also. So probably some cross pollination there between JBL and Tannoy. As far as The Gibbon Circuit i... | |
| Who owns or has owned McIntosh Speakers? I helped a friend replace the surrounds on two pair of large Mac. line arrays. The drivers were cheap stamped frames. Cabinets were well made and looked good. Not in the league of JBL for sure. He was selling them on E-pay. I thought about buying ... | |
| JBL 4429, deep bass ? Have a pair of 4429s. When they were new, they had very little bass below 50/60 Hz. Took a good year for the suspension to loosen up. Bass seams to be fairly flat into the 30s in my room. Anechoic response will always show a rolloff around a 100 H... | |
| JBL - almost nothing for sale, why? D2girls. If you liked your 4367s', your going to like the 4429s. I think that they are a more user friendly setup for most peoples listening areas. I have had mine for a couple of years. Still not bored with them. They will go to 30Hz. after break... | |
| JBL 4429, 4307 and 4312E Dave. It took about a year for my pair of 4429s to "break in". By that, I mean the woofers ability to produce the lower octave. In my placement they are pretty flat to 30Hz. I use them for stereo sound repro. as well as home theater. Best system I... |
