JBL 4800 consumer speaker system
A friend of mine picked these up for me. I was surprised at the sound of this more modern JBL speaker system. It is compromised of a 10" woofer(ported), a 5" mid cone and small dome tweeter.
Best attributes on this system is the mid/tweeter sound reproduction. I guess not everything new for JBL consumer is all that bad. They are 91db efficient and while they don't put out much with my 45 SET amp, the soundstage was very impressive.
Played with my Sansui AU7900 (75wpc) played with decent authority.
I tried searching for info on this forum about them, but found nothing. They have a 12" square footprint and approx 32" tall. They both look like they were one chnl of a "mirror-imaged" set.
Has anyone else seen these speakers before?
Ron
I thought someone would have a opinion on these!
Is this part of the more modern "who-cares" group of JBL consumer products?
Ron
Yeah, the second listing would be them!
They sound alright if you don't push them much.
Before I removed them, I was hoping the mids would be 104H's, but so much for that.
I searched all over JBL home, how come I could not find anything?
Ron
Maybe there is a close substitute to use.
Hard to believe the tweeters are $54.00 each. For that kind of money you might find a usable substitute.

Do you guys have 2 I could buy?
Question-why would both blow, not just 1?

I just looked at the info in the link for the 4800.

Otherwise, can you recommend a cheaper substitute?
Thanks!!!!

Some fans of the more modern JBL gear might be able to help out more. I am more retro/vintage myself.
