No problem. Happy to share what I know and what I don't know we can just make up.

Where is the grille cloth available?

Hello Jan:

The burgundy cloth came from www.cardomain.com It's a double knit polyester but is a bit thin compared to the factory blue. In the right light you can see thru it but I haven't found it to be a problem. I was looking for burgundy to match the L100 foam griiles from son-of-a-gun and it's a dead match. I've been surrounded with blue and just wanted a different look. They also have several other colors.

I did make a pair of grilles with factory blue just in case the JBL police come along for an inspection. I don't want to get a fine.

I'd suggest room placement is the likely culprit. In most rooms it is difficult not to place such large speakers near a wall or even in a corner. I find most JBLs sound too boomy for me under these circumstances. Of course the room also plays a role here and I have heard Bo's 4345s sound quite good up against the wall and the bass is still quite defined and tuneful.

Thanx Widget:

I will do some placement changes and see what the effects are. My room is nearing completion with most of the new furniture in place. I still need to tear out and replace the carpet. I'm sure that will have some effect. The 45's will be a fun project. When my new side by side talking refrigerators are done they will sit in place of the 45's and the 45's will be moved to a longer wall - which will make things easier for placement changes.
