Maybe that compression driver could Be available as a component.
That would Be nice!

I'd love to check it out too... Scott... cool your jets, you won't like it as much as your vintage 2441s... I'd bet money on that one.Originally Posted by scott fitlin

Personally interesting for me is that the leading american loudspeaker company celebrates it's 60th anniversary by launching the new SOTA speaker in Japan.
We, the lansing heritage community, need to gather information by online babelfish translation from japanese websites.
I feel a bit standing aside. You?
During the last weeks of the 60th anniversary hype I was thinking about selling ALL my JBL gear to afford the new TOTL speaker.
2 Problems:
1st They do not even know the 4348 or 4338 speakes here in Germany so how should I get an Everest DD66000?
2nd For 60,000 I'll renew my nice audi convertible plus buy the parts for a DIY M9500 with Be diaphragms from Taiwan.
I can only guess that the latter is the reason why you can buy those babies only in Japan.
You think?Originally Posted by Mr. Widget
Because I`m stuck in the mud, or because the old 2441,s actually sound darn good, no matter what era they are from?

A few more pictures before I leave for northern Japan for the next two days. First, the 476Be compression driver:
Mr. JBL. I honestly have no idea what that was about.
A higher resolution picture of the innards.
Guido, my first reaction was similar. BUT - FYI my posting was purely an observation. I HAVE found that sometimes good engineering has some hidden secrets . Let's face it, if the device has the correct characteristics or is designed for a particular application and/or has an understanding designer, I won't sell it short based on preconceived notions.Originally Posted by Guido
There are some experienced folks behind this offering. I don't want to jump to premature conclusions.
Just my 2 cents (pfennig) worth!
My attempt to capture some of the flash of the introduction - still pictures do not do the scale of the presentation justice.

In any case, I gotta have one of those black and orange cardboard JBL visors.

Edit: On looking more closely at the photo it appears that the gentleman has taken a JBL placard and fastened to a billed cap.
Judging from the size of the enclosure for those two fifteen's, I'm guessing very low frequency reproduction is not one of the design goals.

Mr JBL. Could be a Giskard impostor!
But I love the JBL cap!
Make sure you bring one of those back Don.
Please forgive my humour.

As for playback frequency characteristic of altogether system 45Hz - 50kHz (-6dB).
As for external size 965×469×1,109mm (width × depth × height) with, as for weight 142kg.
Rough volume estimation:
half cylindrical shape, R = 0,42 m, H = 1,0 m results in V=(PI*R*R)/2*H=277 Liter.
Any specs of the woofers?

Making the pictures of heaven inside my parts of happiness is supreme. Magnificent sizing of sound power most clearly delivered as it is.
Sparkling as a rain falls. In my rooms eye I see them glowing to the jazz saxophone with piano ringing.
My fortune negative permit the sale will not.
Sadness.
