I just joined this site last night, and I think I'll be spending a lot of my free (non listening) time here reading.
I have a pair of JBL 4311As, and I just purchased a pair of 4311Bs from eBay. I haven't been able to find much literature on the Bs. I plan to run both pairs together with my Crown CE 1000. Does anyone know if there is a difference in sensitivity between the two? Are the crossover frequencies close enough that I won't have any phasing problems? Both pairs will be placed horizontally, one atop the other. I'm also considering another CE 1000, so I can run them both bridged.
I absolutely LOVE the 4311s. I was a live sound engineer for over 20 years, and I rarely used (or liked) anything other than JBLs. One band did have a pair of Gauss 15s that would handle anything. They were loaded into folded horn cabs. They could handle all the power from a Crown PSA-2 I could give them.
I'm also using a dbx 231 EQ and Aphex 204. A Lexicon MPX 110 gives TV programs a little space. My preamp is a Behringer mixing board, which I want to replace with a Soundcraft (preferably a 200B). I balanced the outputs of the TV with DIs, and the whole system is low impedance.
And, yes, I like it loud. Thanks in advance for your replies !
