No Array series mentioned.
Array series ??? Who wants a speaker that resembles a Ford Edsel.
Array series ??? Who wants a speaker that resembles a Ford Edsel.Agreed. Nothing is better in the ARRAY that has not been done before.
Most of the JBL fanatics here is the USA are busy spending thier money on 30 year old speakers.
Yep!
The designer. I don't think they look any worse than all those silly looking Cat in the Hat systems people blow hundreds of thousands of dollars on and then act proud of.Array series ??? Who wants a speaker that resembles a Ford Edsel.
I suppose Greg could get on here and waste his precious time letting you know exactly what is wrong with the 4343 but he's actually busy. Besides, what would it matter? One either likes them or one doesn't.
You nailed it.Most of the JBL fanatics here is the USA are busy spending thier money on 30 year old speakers.
Let me put forth one question. How long do you think JBL Consumer is going to continue supporting legacy loudspeaker systems? The current guesstimate is, not much longer. That should convert a whole bunch of people to "part out" specialists.
Hey, if they look good and they sound good and people can afford them,
they should sell well! (yeah, I know thats asking a lot... !)

Well, I think we are going to see prices go up on all the vintage stuff. I can see little LE5-2's going for $500 to $1,000 each.JBL probably should have killed off support for alot of their legacy products years ago before it was too late. In hindsight it was probably a bad idea to offer such a fantastic resource for legacy products.
Nope.
Times have changed. In the 1950s many people became fascinated with the notion that they could have decent sound in their homes and were willing to put up with 6-10 cu ft monsters in order to achieve it... then along came AR and their ~2 cu ft acoustic suspension speakers and most speakers shrunk and anything larger than that was considered too large... then along came mini and then micro sized speakers with subs and anything larger than a box of Kleenex was considered too large... today anything larger than a Bose micro cube system is just not acceptable with 95% of the market. ...and considering the fact that most people are playing MP3 files anyway, why bother with a system that will showcase just how bad it sounds? The market has spoken. People do not share our passion. Most people would simply not allow a pair of Everest IIs in their home even if JBL was giving them away.

Yup that hits the nail on the head,,, I would rather go see and listen to a live musiction than sit in my MAN CAVE listening to a reproduction.
Once I closed my eyes and listenend to the Array 1400.
It was fine, just a modern speaker.
As it fits into my room (space, furniture, windows)
I would like to have it.
Until now I was counting my thalers.
But I suppose I only have to
open my arms wide?
