Hi to all!
What do you guys think of these 70th anniversary models?
I have an option on a pair at what I feel is a good price but they are more than 3 hours away
What are your impressions of this system as compared to other classic JBL control monitors past and or current wide range compact models?
Thanks

Personally I think they missed the mark... but I have only read about it and have not heard the SE speakers.
I am not a fan of the black "wood" and ridiculous logo. The driver compliment is certainly adequate, but hardly exciting.

That would be good, and better yet you'd have the opportunity to hear them yourself. Both of these will be difficult though as I doubt many of these speakers have been delivered to dealers or sold. They were initially offered to dealers at the end of February so they have only been available for a few months.Quote:

I would also be very appreciative if anyone who owns a pair of these would mind sharing with me, in confidence, what you paid
Most published pricing is in pounds or yen so I'm not solid on how good a deal I'm being offered, or if or how I should counter when the rubber meets the road!
Production will be limited obviously don't know if that will translate over into a workaday version after this year
Thanks
The woofer looks much more 'solid' compared with the previous models. And the pleated surround has been changed.
looks like a winner
the woofer is white cone version of 1200Fe-8, the woofer JBL use in 4428 and 4429
It should be easy to find an on-line currency converter that will let you know those prices in US $.Quote:

As was mentioned, this model has only been out a few months that's why I'm here asking if anyone owns a pair
I'm a JBL Synthesis dealer. The retail price is $2500 pr. Some dealers may offer them at a discount, most will not.
I'm not sure if that helps you.
