I have 4 extra ports!

they are a little bit longer and would need to be cut to 24 inches in total...

Really nice work, speakers and basement. Building something like 4355s ain't for the faint of heart.

I agree Jeff! I had fun thou... I might build an other pair!...

Great job on the DIY enclosures. Seeing all the fiberglass would give me pause for an idea for dual purpose insulation and sound damping.

actually the surrounding walls were like that when I bought the house. The framing of the basement is about all the heating ducks, walls for the machine room... The electric will be after my trip... On the tenth...

Thanks!
it will come slowly!...

Two more.
don't hesitate if any question!
the rug keeps my feet warm!
Cheers!

PS! The blue that you see here is the closest to the JBL blue. Could not find the right code due to the fact the paint now is water based.
it may be seen darker. This could be due to the automatic white balance of the Ipad...

Very nice. I never heard 4355's, only 4350's. In fact I have never even seen seen a pair!

JBL 4355 came after the 4350 at the end of 70's. Only 250 pairs have been build.
I read that they are better than the 4350 but I've never heard them.

a lot of info if you google it.

I'm still amazed when I turn my amps up and listen those 260 lbs beast...

Let me know if you guys see the pix!

I don't advise on using the 5235 for high quality hifi unless it's has been fully recapped and modernised and if you need specific EQ for the 4355.

While it is a good starting point, the 43's really their potential with something like Bryston 10B, Westlake etc.
I had a BSS 360 (actually I still have, it's on the shelf waiting for a new owner) and it ran circles around a 5235 but then came the 10B and wiped the floor with both. It was also the first crossover I had that I could not directly distinguish it's sound signature.

I just took a look at the japanese audio-heritage website and I am surprised to see that 4350 actually had a higher bandwidth than 4355.
It's stated as 30Hz-20KHz within 3dB whereas the 4355 "only" does 31.5Hz-18Khz.
