Oh ok, so is it a case of he knows better than JBL, or what?
Anyway, it's a great speaker, and I'm sticking to it.

No, it's a case of JBL designing a speaker and selling it as designed. What anybody else does with drivers that JBL doesn't even want the public to own never even entered into their design considerations.
Same tired old argument with the D66000 when some people decided JBL didn't design them correctly since people were augmenting the bass with subwoofers.
4313B never said he "knew better" than JBL. He just utilized the drivers differently than JBL did. His drivers, his design, his preference.
JBL uses pretty specific voicing on some of their speakers, the 9900 and 66000 both come to mind. Could they have changed their designs to squeeze a few more Hz of bass from them? Sure. But they didn't, and I bet they didn't for a reason. That somebody else used the drivers and voiced a different design is neither here nor there, it's just different.
bottom line: use EQ :D
If JBL market research thinks that a 3 cubic foot version will sell a few more units than a 5 cubic foot version, they'll sell the smaller version. If they think that a Beats audio version with big thumpy bass will sell better, maybe we'll have that soon. If they think that a larger version of a 15 inch three way will cannibalise sales from their twin woofer version, and reduce their profits, maybe we'll never see the larger single woofer version.
Nobody is claiming that they know better than JBL, just that different choices give different results, in line with different tastes or uses.
This is a case of you putting your own words in other people's mouths. I don't understand why you insist on doing this.
It is a case of me taking the time to listen carefully to what the designer of the system tells me. It is a case of me understanding why they use the various components and filters they use in the various systems they design and build.
Indeed. The designer of the system uses a pair as his rear channels in his HT.
Yeah, I know I just don't have the patience to explain myself anymore. I think a lot of people don't post at all because it is too much of a hassle.
I'd be -very- happy with an S9900 pair for 95% of my 2ch listening time...
for me, that's a damn fine score for -any- speaker. I'd guess the 4365's
are in a similar category when set up properly (including room).
So you can imagine I'd be keen to hear a M2 setup :)
"Indeed. The designer of the system uses a pair as his rear channels in his HT."
Perhaps you're not seeing this statement as fairly high praise... LOL.
No point poking at 4313B... There's been much offered and much learned over the years.
There will be no humorous outbursts tolerated around here. This is a serious bunch of mofos. TYVM.
Carry on...
