That's them !!!
Someone in Western MA had 3 pairs stacked like this on Craigslist a few years back. Wish I had grabbed a pic of it !I bet it sounds great. Some of our local hang has experimented with stacking and...
Take your pick - any of these are endgame speakers for most folks. Even the uber rare 4760 :-)

For 1/10th the price the 4760 is worth a listen if you can get away with its world-class anti-WAF looks :-). I heard the K2-S9900 recently and came away somewhat unimpressed after 2 years of 4670...
Welcome back ! Things are quieter here than "back in the day" but a lot of the old timers still post here and there. 'Cept maybe Giskard/4313b...think he's left the building.

I used UShip to get my 250Ti's to their new owner in Colorado. A father/daughter moving team showed up with a UHaul filled with a variety of things and they did a great job on the packing and moving....
What are those mini-9900s on the desk ????
THOSE are COOL !

We had the exact same issue with the 4670 system in a buddy's man cave. I looked into those JBL subs and concluded that they weren't going to add anything that the 4670 wasn't already doing. We...
Hey thanks Ti Dome - long time no talk :-)
I had a lot of experience with bi-amping an even better bass driver in my 250Ti's over the years (sometimes driving it directly from an amp using an...
I think that's just how they were voiced. If you look at the specs they are already down 6db by 36hz iirc. The Aerial 7s in the exact same spot had strong bass down to the upper 20s.
And yes it...
These have been on my list for a very long time and I finally got to hear a pair (freshly refoamed by our local speaker fixer extraordinaire Brian Salazar of Holt Hill audio). He has them in one of...
Great thread! Congrats on the 4343s! I've never heard any of the large format 43XX series but I'd like to someday.

Yes, we did some experiments with a DBX Venue 360 recently, and it was quite a surprise. Despite all of the digital wizardry of this device (including room analysis and many kinds of EQ), we just...
I'd love a pair of those larger horns. Anyone got a stash ?
jblnut
It's on the list somewhere between using a modern digital xover (DriveRack) and tubes for the horn. We both didn't think it really needed one after I bumped the lower sliders a few db on the EQ. They...
Yup - that's on the list (and it's long) of things that need to be done here, starting with some proper 1/4 - RCA cables. Just ordered those a few moment ago. The amp is very temporary and was just...
Well...I may have crossed over to the "other side". I've been here for about 2 decades now, dabbling mostly in vintage JBL home speakers (peaking with the 250Ti). I've never considered myself a horn...
Now the journey begins :-)

I too had always read (and believed) that the old foam - once worn out - would result in less damping and therefore a brighter sound. This is not what I actually experienced. I sent my 044Ti's out to...
I was a longtime 250Ti owner who wanted to move on to something newer. I listened to the Array 1400 years ago and liked it quite a bit, but not enough to make the move. It was the Salon 2's that...
A "sound" choice either way :-)
There are great deals on Salon 2's out there if you look. I believe that one of our long time members here (audiobeer) is selling his pair. You might want to reach...
Our 940's will outlive us, and the cockroaches too :-)

Great write up Mike!
Like you, I mostly lurk here and don't post too much any more (AK is where I dwell now). But I have to say that I agree with a lot of what you are saying here and it parallels...
I'll give you a hallelujah they aren't in the Northeast either !

LSR's are great. Many of us have them on our desks as computer speakers now (I have LSR305s). If I can ever find a good pair of LSR6328p's that haven't been used as jack stands, I will pull the...
