Legendary indeed.

Just went full circle and got myself a pair of gray 4343Bs. In the last 20 years or so, have owned the 4343B, 4350A, 4430, 4345, 4344, then a deuce with 4350A again. Was without...

My experience is quite the opposite with my K2 M9500. The M9500 allows for passive Bi Amping just like the 4365. With single wire, during loud complex passages the sound can get congested and...

Hi KTG,

I owned 4350A on 2 occasions. Like many I thought the optimal setup would be to drive the top with tubes and bottom with SS. But somehow this setup does not allow me to crank it up, the...

Hi,

im trying to convert the MC2500 from 120V to 240V . Tried googling but could not find an instruction. I heard there’s a way to rewire the T3 terminal block on the underside.

Would...

Hi Olaf,

If there something about the 4345’s sound that prompted the original question?

it sounds best with the original jbl urei cards in either the 5234 or 5235 crossovers. After market crossovers will do too , I’ve tried Behringer and dbx , but it doesn’t sound as good.

Hi 4344,

I had the 4430 before and all the 43 series one time or another.

It depends on which speakers you are comparing it with when you say ‘bass shy’?

With the Lpads at the optimal...

ATCs amps are matched in terms of gain for the purpose of passive biamping. In fact both P1 and P2 have RCA output connections that can be used to daisy chain multiple amps.

My experience with passive biamping my M9500 with the ATC P1/P2 are exactly opposite. Everything becomes clearer, more relaxed, you could follow and hear bass details effortlessly.

I think he could be using McIntosh amps and deciding on which tap to use. I would use the 4 ohm tap.

After reading this thread, it reinforced a principle , which is never to outsource critical components or process where you no longer have control of the quality. Many speakers manufacturers are...

While ATCs have models that uses one or two 15” woofers, they are voiced very differently from JBLs. If you are used to the jbl’s bass, the ATC might sound like there is no bass on first listen. But...

Thanks for the education

There are a few key differences:

1. Power Handling improved with the 4355 with the 2235 woofers
2. Adjustability by the Introduction of LPADs for 2441 and 2405

Agree totally. Why else would we buy 15” woofers and 4” Drivers and horn?

I have not heard the PBN, but just by looking at the specs :

1. Crossing 2 x 2235H at 900 hz.

Always thought the 2235H is excellent for bass extension. Using 2 in parallel crossing so high...

Agree totally.

Hi Earl,

as you can see from the photo of my listening area, I do not have the space to pull out the M9500 from the rear wall, as such I may not be able to give an accurate assessment of their...

Haha Martin, it's interesting to imagine if you have mentioned this to GT when the M9500 was first released... The product has defect... ;)

Hi Martin,

indeed, and I think the JBL team did achieve the most optimal balance in the M9500. Adding anything might just ‘tilt’ the balance. I think users of S9500/M9500 would have to accept that...

Hi Martin,

i read somewhere that adding a tweeter might cause the speakers to lose the IET benefits. Right now the imaging is really good and I do not wish to lose that. When I spread the speakers...

I’m really keen on the iTech 4x3500. Anybody has any experience with them? Especially the fan noise.

Thanks guys.

Its a beast indeed, i've been playing with it for the last week and realised that it could swallow up the ATC P2 and more. At 4 ohms the P2 is 450 watts. I can feel the M9500 wanting...

Hi Pos,

i was using 4350A before these. There is a sense of speed and tautness in the bass that the 4350A cannot match. The 1400Nd does hit you in the chest like a sledgehammer. The other major...

Finally I landed my dream JBL...

Bow to the Phantom Lord...
