Hello all,
I am new to this forum.
But I figure if you want opinions on JBL...no better place to be, right?
I recently picked up a pair of 4312A's and a pair of L100's to add to my ever growing JBL collection. I already have a pair of L-40's.
My question is this:
When I got my pair of l-40's and hooked them up, I found them to be very pleasant and easy to listen to. Have had them playing for 10 hours at a time and loving every minute of them. Bass was tremendous even at low volumes. Mids are alittle behind. I expected that from a 2 way and highs are very pleasent
Yesterday, I hooked up my 4312A's.
After about 1 hour, I found them hard on my ears. The highs seemed to pierce through me. The HF level was set to 5
I turned down the HF level to 1 and still I find them harsh and unnatural.
Mids are incredible, but the bass seems non existent.
I am running them with my Pioneer SX-650 with the bass and treble set flat, loudness both on and off, high filter off and volume at 9 o clock.
I have always wanted a pair of 4312's and now that I have them...I am wondering if I made a mistake.
Any direction or opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Vincent
