    I think the flat ribbon wire leads say it is an original. The China repro's are round wire. That has been my experience, at least from a few years ago.

    Looking at the 4429 and S-4700 schematics. The biggest change to the midrange crossover is in R4. They used a 3.0 Ohm resistor verses the 2.2 Ohm in the 4429. That change should raise the lower end...

    4429 verses S4700 Crossover

    David. The 4429 and the S4700 look to have the same mid and HF drivers. Horns look to be very similar. If you examine the schematics of each, it becomes obvious that the S4700 crossover is complex by...

    David. If I were in Paris I would pick up your pair of 4430s. Upgrade them with the drop in 2216nd's. I must admit, I also really like those old constant directive horns. I have a pair of 4425's with...

    Ian. One thing for sure, I was a little rash about a replacement crossover for the 4429 as it has a constant directivity horn. Definitely needs the dome mass dominance compensation circuitry of the...

    David. I do compare the 4429s to the 4333s frequently. The 4429s does have a tendency to exaggerate the bass my room. I also think the 4333s have a more realistic mid range. Vocals are where the old...

    Agree with Widget. I have been using the 2216Nd in place of the 2235's in my 4333's. Never looked back. The 30 Hz is down though. Lower midrange matches with the 2420 seamlessly. I believe the M-2...

    My best guess is yes for substitution. I am running 4333B's with the 2216nd bass drivers. They however are not a cheap driver. Around $600 each US. Most of the JBL box tunes in the 1980s were...

    Beautiful veneer Woody! Yeh. I love my 4333s. Not as nice as the L300 looks wise, but damn they are flat with superb detail. Keepers for sure.
