4345 COMING TOGETHER IN THE LONDON
Hi Chas,
thanks for post suggesting that perhaps that I could post a thread to document the build of my 4345's. I had thought about it before and your reguest finally gave me the courage to do so.
I started out wanting to build the L 300 , the first JBL's I ever heard.
I lived in Canada for 20 years so I grew up with a taste for warm snapping bass and crisp ,vapourous highs.I spent 10 years as a DJ in Edmonton surrouned by JBL and BJW. I have fond memories of the after parties that took place when the punters had gone home and I could just sit on the dance floor and listern to the music I loved.
Anyway , I moved back to England to Study Art and now live and work as profesional artist in London. I have 2000 ft2 studio ,so some weedy little bose
satalite system just aint gonna do it. I listern to music from when I wake up until I go to bed ( itunes).I spend alot of time alone painting ,so my sound is by bestfriend.
So yeah! I stumble across this forum and I have'nt looked back since.I did have a little fling with Klipsch. They were a nice sound ,but not for me .They made my ears tired after short time of listerning to them.
There is just something about JBL that keeps me coming back. I'm not a E.E
so I can't justify the attraction with graphs and equations. They sound moves me thats all can say .
There are some very talented people on this site and they know the theory inside out.But, one thing shines through stonger than the facts and figures , and thats ..... PASSION!
I have been given all the support one needs to tackle a project like this, without which, I'd still be dreaming instead of building.
Guido is doing all the electronics and reconing and I'm building the boxes. I will ask Guido to post his progress as well.
I just tried to upload some picks ,seems I need to resize the files. so i'll have to ask for help on this too !
