Well it certainly seems the bitching has killed the continuance of usefulness of this thread:(
[quote=Ian Mackenzie;239610]jblbgw_man & scorpio,
Of a more pragmatic and rational nature the average member would not have the skills to implement the mods to the 5235 you have described and I...
[quote=scorpio;239492]Interesting mix Tony, Naim's are not very often seen used with JBL, my only experince of them is in full Naim systems or mixed with Linn.
I have used Naim amplification...
I reckon you will be very pleasantly surprised by the result which will improve further as your new cable burns-in. I used 10.2 guage cable.
With its absence of multiple gain and other signal degrading controls, the simplicity of the 5235 should not be maligned. I have 4430 speakers powered through a 5235 by 2 x Naim 130 amplifiers...
I had, indeed still have, a pair of L19's from 1983 which were in use until early last year when I quickly progressed through Century Gold's (another excellent model) onto my current 4430's.
The...

I’m in NY now, but next week I’ll be back home.
I still have my 5235, no…. to be honest, I have two of them. Yes, because it has been my first experience with electronic crossover and was so excited...
As often follows moments of :o: I see that I am promoted from Junior Member to Member :D
I too have found the 4430 tricky to dial-in even before bi-amping when running passive; getting the...
I guess I have shown my ignorance:o:
Well my initial problem was definitely the speaker internal/crossover switch. (That is after I sorted out my initial, initial problem of getting the interconnects made up with the somewhat unusual...
This thread has produced some really useful information for bi-amping 4430's and 4435's :applaud:
And your using the XVR1 with 4430's?
you used the 10B previously with 4430's?
Michele, What crossovers would you suggest?
Thank you Mvaldes and Jblbgw man, you were both spot-on with your diagnosis. :applaud:
As to alternative crossovers to the 5235, I agree with Jblbgw man I have tried a Pioneer and DBX crossover...
It would seem that I have found the problem -the internal / external crossover switch on the RH speaker. While I had done this previously I vigorously worked the switch backward and forth,...
Hi and thank you everyone.
I do not have any equipment to take measurements - only my ears. I shall work through the suggestions beginning first with swopping speakers leads to see if I can...
I wonder if anyone can help with problems I am experiencing trying to bi-amp my 4430’s.
Until now I have been running my 4430’s passive through 2 x Naim 160 stereo amps using one channel for each...
I have owned a pair of Century Gold for 18 months now and find them truly excellent. I have powered them using 2 x Naim NAP 160 amplifiers in single amp mode passive, bi-amp passive and bi-amp active...
Well done Greyhound:applaud:
Are they all complete now? Did you manage to source any serial number/model plates?
To update or correct my last post, I have gone active by switching the crossover to the bi-amp position (or in my case leaving it where it was) and have inserted the DBX234XL crossover. This is...
Having waited an eternity having the necessary interlinks made, I went 'active' last night using a DBX234XL crossover after having progressed through bi-wire and bi-amp - with all three progressions...
Hi Macaroonie,
Thank you for your help. Elsewhere it has been suggested that the DBX223/234 would suit my needs. It would seem that the XLR version is the better option, but all models are...
Wouldn't you believe it - the very day before you suggested the M552 one sold on Ebay for about $86. Hopefully one will turn-up soon.:)
