Hello All,
Not sure if this topic has been previously discussed, and if it has, please forgive me.
My question is, has anybody either through A/B Testing, or from personal experience auditioned both of these, and can they comment?
I would assume that these were actually two different animals basically, and I do know of the cosmetic differences.
I had extensively auditioned a true one day old brand new pair of L-300's 34 years ago, and in truth didn't like them, as much as I thought I would, and to me, the Bass was somewhat muddy-floppy compared to my own L65 Jubal. Looking back, this speaker may have been "too new", and my evaluation may have been skewed due to not even being yet fully broken in.
The L-300 used the 136A Woofer, with what I remember the Foam Surround. I'm assuming the 4333 used a totally different Woofer, and would like asking, this particular Woofer didn't have foam surround, did it? I would also assume the 4333 had a heavier Magnet structure, but I've leave others to comment.
I get the impression JBL used Foam Surrounds on many of it's "home" Drivers to enhance low end excursion, but my questions are "at what cost"?, and as bass as Bass response went, what differences were there with the L-300 versus 4333?
I'm guessing that the 4333 had tighter, cleaner Bass Response, but perhaps at the cost of the last few hz of low end excursion?
Are my assumptions correct. or no? Are there any other notable differences in sound in regards to these two speakers (Midrange-High frequency Sonics?)
Thank you all, Mark
