Hello! I've been lurking for a bit, and decided to finally join - this seems like a really helpful forum. I've been contemplating my JBL dilemma for awhile and figured this would be the best place to ask.
Well, my setup is currently a pair of 4311b's that i've used almost daily for the past 10 years. I love the sound that I get from these, and i've become fairly accustomed to them after all this time. I will soon be moving to a place where I cannot bring these particular speakers (space has nothing to do with it, they simply don't fully "belong" to me haha). Therefore I have been pondering what a suitable replacement would be. I am open to any readily available model, and since im on a students budget the cheaper the better. :) Preferably something that is of equal sound quality or better. I've looked online for another pair of 4311b's but they seem to be fairly illusive and the pairs I have found are usually well beaten. I have no qualms whether its a new or used model really.
Other info: I drive these with a Hitachi HMA-6500 (thoughts on this too?) i've been happy with it. I understand I don't do actual "studio work" but the sound these put out I have really fallen in love with. The genres of music I listen to are vast, but mostly Rock (progressive / melodic) and at usually medium sound levels - its rare I push these things as hard as im sure they can handle.
Any help would be much appreciated! I'm sure i'll enjoy it here. :bouncy: Thanks in advance.
