Has it occurred to you that an Array or K2 might not be the right speakers for everyone, or that they're just too expensive for some?
It seems like you're trolling again or are just bored. Knock it off.
Not "Bored" at all
I have a Business, and we just cleaned a really big Strip Mall.
Got some nice Florida Sun, made a few Bucks.
Music is playing on the 412's, younger Girlfriend is in the shower, life is Good!
I'm glad to see this worked out for you!
". . . as you have no doubt noticed, no one told the 4345 that it can't work correctly so it does anyway."—Greg Timbers
I don't recall having the pleasure of hearing the 4345.I almost pulled the trigger on the 1400 Array. That trauma is well-documented here. Just to break them down for transport meant having to destroy $50 in badges to dismount the horns, with no guaranty of availability for any subsequent moves. Instead I decided to pay about the same money for a reproduction pair of 4345s, with all new components, because I know the crew here can help me keep them singing for the remainder of my life. :dont-know
Heck, that's just me. Proud to be a Luddite. But believe it or not, my wife was easier to sell on these huge boxes than she was on the photos of the oddly shaped zebra-skinned Arrays. Plus they recommended a 15" sub to go with the 14" Array. And this is what "Support" offers for a current model JBL:
My childhood friend Larry Janus back in Detroit had a pair of Monster JBL's with that kind of Lens on them.
He had a Crown IC 150 pre amp and a DC 300 amp if I recall correctly.
I remember his JBL's as being ungodly loud and powerful in his basement, listening close up.
I also remeber a certain sweetness, when he turned them down to a sane level!
He later moved out of his parents and had ESS AMT 1B's and Design Acoustic D 12's, remember them ?
LOL, a huge sphere with drivers all over pointing everywhere.
Don't know what happened to his big JBL whatevers, but I know he missed them!
Perhaps they were his Dad's ?
I used to own Electro Voice Interface D's
Really miss them too.
I was going to build some Horns, and still might do it one day ?

I was disappointed that the 1400 Arrays didn't work out for you. It was a sweet deal on some amazing speakers. The 4345s are super, no doubt.I almost pulled the trigger on the 1400 Array.

I actually know some folks at Crown, having lived in the Elkhart/Goshen area for a number of years. The old Crown employees were the cream of the midwestern crop: hard working, quality conscious, consistent, and productive. When I toured the facility through the courtesy of a friend who worked there in 1976, it was quite a thing to see, well-ordered, labor-intensive, craftsmanlike work.
I know a lot of east coast Harman folks are going there. Let's hope for the best.

I feel uncomfortable ... I need an adult!!!
heheheheheeeee ............
hahahahahahaaaaaa .........
BWAAAAHHHAAAAAAA ............
OK, seriously, I just can't stop
Now my stomach hurts, and I may have just peed a little.
A picture says it ALL
Dammit, I was SURE you were going to pick this one:A picture says it ALL
I second this. NEVER had any issue with JBL PRO, for as long as I have been using with JBL!
scottyj
LOL Fred
I was saving that one for "someone special"
Why dont you nice folks post some pics of yourselves ?
there's some here

Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles
Thanks for the link
It is funny how our perception of what we think people look like is altered once we meet, or see a picture of them ?
Some very nice looking Folks on this forum, much younger then I had imagined.
I can see many here know each other personally, unlike Audio Asylum.
questions ?
Is that Fred Sanford in the pic he posted, or his kids ?
The Hyperbolic Bottom Feeder looks a lot like an old friend of mine from Seattle .
Heather I honestly thought was an elderly Woman in her 70's, until I saw a picture of her
Nice! I'd forgotten about that. And hey, I got the JBL logo in my pic.
Which brings me to this point in this thread: JBL will be running strong for at least another two or three decades. Even if they went out of production today, we'd keep 'em alive and working for 30 more years.
Hell, my L100s are 39 years old and barely broken in. Those XPL200s I rehabbed are almost 20, and they're like new. The Synthesis® stuff I got a couple of months ago looks like it could last 50 years, and that's only a small part of it all.
So while JBL the manufacturer could close up shop, JBL the brand will be around long past my lifetime. Besides, there's no indication that JBL is in any real trouble here in the US except in the minds of some people. It's one of the top brands in the Harman stable and certainly the most viable.
Out.
Seems to be a recurring theme - I was called an "old fart" earlier this week by another poster. Frankly, I thought that was hysterical
Absolutely. When a company builds a solid legacy by producing a quality product and delivering exceptional service, they inevitably develop a loyal fan base.
Not to mention, someone's going to inherit all of our stuff and will have to do something with it. I'm sure the heritage will continue.
