[It Cost How Much!?!]

Love vintage JBLs and some of the new ones. Currently got 4312 & L112 and looking for another larger model Would really like some L220 or some of the big studio full range horn ones.

Very subtle looking speakers, Bob. :cafe:

 

[oldius]

I think they look fantastic!

I am currently enjoying my JBL L96.

Very jealous of above, but still enjoy my baby JBL L1's.

:rockin:

I had to stop listening to the video after a minute, as I got sick of the guy tuning his trumpet.

I do like the BIG JBL's though.

I had a pair of L110 Monitors.

Fantastic things - cost me £150 or so and they replaced £5k rrp's worth of Kharmas.



A bit scruffy :? - but so am I.

Yep, good at rock, but also very excellent at classical. Just good speakers, really. :^ Transparency, vibrancy, clarity, rez, dynamics, surprisingly uncoloured and just plain fun to listen to.

My findings too. The British hifi press has a lot to answer for. One only needs to consider the demand for vintage JBL's in the Far East to realise that it's only a matter of time before they are more appreciated here.

 

[AmDismal]

Well they like LS3/5as in the far East... ;-)

But I am delighted with my JBL L300s, they are wonderful speakers. The UK press, with their Linn/Naim fetish at the time, has indeed a lot to answer for

First post to this forum despite I was only planning to register for one classified thread but you never know..

I have had JBL 4341 Studio Monitors at my system for few years. Got these in pretty messy condition after studio usage but made few things and they look great and fit nicely the living room without any issues. And the sound

Great pics Mika, welcome!

 

[ThELiZ]

That looks like a great setup, Mika. I'm jealous! Great room.

I bet that system seriously rocks!

I used to have a pair of these - fabulously loud and rocking - LX66's for a few years in the early to mid 90's:

 

[MJ.]

Monster speakers, a crackingly nice room and a couple of verrrry nice indeed TT's.

Welcome aboard Mika, you should fit in a treat

We love JBL's , early next year we will be opening our retail showroom and will have at least one model of the studio monitors in stock and most likely the Array 800's or 1000's .We would love to have the bigger 1400's or a pair of the bigger units but as this is our first venture into bricks and motor retail we need to be careful what we spend .

The Uk distributor does have Everest on demo as part of a AV set up and they do sound mighty fine....

A new member of the club, I have some lovely restored 4311 and they sound fabulous. Not as big a sound as the 15" tannoy grfs, but still able to fill a big space from a relatively small enclosure. they are ideal for my rock and pop diet. The bass is quick and tuneful and the timing is a revelation. Yet they not fatiguing, they have that listen for hours quality that the tannoys have. Having heard stock 4311s the troels graveson crossover smoothes out the rough edges and removes the hf and midrange hash that can make the stock model sound a bit relentless.

I wanted to ask for any recommendations of amps that have proven to work well with 43xx models? My experience so far is they seem to like amps that can grip the bass and have some body and weight.

Thanks,

Graham
