Has anyone come across these yet?

Has anyone had a listen to a pair and if so what were your opinions.

Thanks.

No Comments. That's to bad.

I have ordered a pair so we shall see what they can do for a dual 10 inch.

Oh man... if they made a version of that with just one woofer so that it could happily set atop a subwoofer, I'd be all over it! :bouncy:

The whole point of the dual ten inch design was to get the baffle as narrow as possible while maintaining output greater than a single twelve could produce.

So... didn't you guys talk about the 100FE-12 at the party?

I very nearly bought a pair of these S3900's but ended up buying some Tannoy Precision 6.4's instead. They have an even narrower baffle. :rotfl:

I recall 100FE-12s being mentioned, with basically the same design intent information as you've stated.

The only other conversation about them that I recall was more along the lines of "what would you
do with them if you had some?", but that's probably fodder for a separate thread involving those
that might have such a "problem". :)

While I would obviously prefer the S3900, my wife definitely prefers the Tannoys (visually). The Tannoys look nice enough to put up in the living room. JBL's can, and do, go in any other room in the house.

I hope JBL sells tons of S3900's.

How about your Tannoy 6.4 comparing with your JBL?;)

I kinda thought so...still I wish the 4429 or even a lowly single ten inch version were available in the USA. *sigh*

FYI, you missed the point. Hint: "difference" is the result from a subtraction.

As far as the Tannoy Precision 6.4 loudspeakers they are a lot cheaper and not in the same price class.
They may be enjoyable but I really do not think we are comparing fairly here.

When I receive my JBL-3900's I will be fully breaking them in and then doing head to head comparisons.

But the Tannoy's I will be comparing them to will be the TANNOY DEFINITION series model DC-8T and DC-10T which are in the same price range.

I will be testing them all with the KRELL Phantom 3 pre amp and a KRELL 2250e power amplifier.

I cannot wait until the S-3900's show up to start seeing what all these fine loudspeakers can do.

When I receive my JBL-3900's I will be fully breaking them in and then doing head to head comparisons.

But the Tannoy's I will be comparing them to will be the TANNOY DEFINITION series model DC-8T and DC-10T which are in the same price range.

I cannot wait until the S-3900's show up to start seeing what all these fine loudspeakers can do.It could be interesting to see how the DC-10T compares. I would not be surprised if the dual 100FE-12's come out on top. I would also imagine that the Tannoy would have a little bit of trouble keeping up with the 175Nd-3 and 139Nd in the S3900.

The Tannoy that I am most interested in is the DC10A. But I doubt that I will ever bother to own a pair, my Everest II clones will have to do me from here on out.

The next time I go to Mississauga I will have to drop by your place. :yes: JBL TOP OF THE LINE K2-9900 (TORONTO) Canada (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYwzWO3PLiQ)

Cool! Sounds good. I love shoot-outs. Nice amp and preamp there too.
