    Best JBL´s for my amp?

    Hi,
    I own a beautiful Pathos TT hybrid amplifier.
    Due it has only 35 watts per channel, what JBL monitors or vintage speakers I would have to look for?

    JBL loudspeakers

    You need efficiency and power to keep control of the large JBL 15" etc...
    I will try to get a cabinet with smaller drivers to start and see how your amp keep control on large driver.
    The speakers size matters but you low power may not be enough for large drivers.
    Try to get the most efficient cabinet that you place in your home. This may reduce the frequencies ranges but the sound should be good and punchy.

    Best JBL 's for your amp

    I guess L100, 4312, 4311 can fit. I was using Revox A720 preamp and A722 power amp which only 40W/ch on my 4311B. Of cause the sound is not very powerful but it is very enjoyable in terms of musical. I also got a pair of 4301B. It is a 8" woofer but it is not easy to drive than 4311b!!

    Hi Ricklam,
    I also own a pair of 4301B and Spendor SP1/2R.
    The Spendors sounds beautiful but too soft. The 4301B sounds different, more punch and life. So I´m looking for a more powerful JBL´s. I´m considering a pair of L112 but, I think they need a lot of watts.
    What are the differences between 4301 and 4311 sound?
    Should be 4312 better than 4311?

    Regards.

    The woofer of 4301B needs more power to get control than 4311B's 12" woofer. They sound very close but 4311 with more detail in mid range.
    The original 4312 and 4311 should be the same but only different in layout.

    4311 is the pro version of L100, both with boomy bass, forward midrange, and rolled-off highs.

    That's not what 4301 is.

    Use "Search" to get some facts if what you want is high fidelity....
