JBL 4311 meets JBL 4312

[Gordzilla]

hey folks,

i gotta question...

i have a pair of 4311's and am looking at a pair of 4312's. what is the difference between the two?

anyone?

i wanna put both pair in one room, possibly.

or maybe set up one pair in the "romance room".

the 4312's are gonna be a project piece as one cabinet only has a woofer in it and is missing all other parts.

thanks for the fine information.

i have a pair of 4311's and am looking at a pair of 4312's. what is the difference between the two?For starters, 4312 is mirror-imaged. It matters.

thanks. so "mirror-imaged" means that they are interchangable as left and right speakers. right?

i am a slow thinker and an even slower learner...

Well, no, not necessarily.

Think of it as if there was a mirror to the side of one of them. The other would look like the image in the mirror.

Thus, if the midrange or port is to the left on one, it's to the right on the other, for example....

ok, i get it. that makes sense.

i didn't get the speakers anyway...

it was one of those "too good to be true" craigslist deals.

still looking for a good center speaker for my 4311's...

any advice?
