JBL 4430 vs JBL L300 summit

[Ian Mackenzie]

In a room with suitable sound absorbing material on the walls the presentation of the 4430 is more in your face.

This is the problem with the 100 x100 biradial horn,

It sound sound too diffuse in a domestic room.

Guide put a Tad 2002 driver on this monitor and the results were spectacular.

...that's taking my suggestion with Alu fram in the 2425/26 a step further.


What is the type of the monitor on the hard left in the picture you linked to?
Never came across these monsters before.

It's a 4350/55 reproduction with a vertical configuration of the baffle (from the same cabinet maker for Kendric as l recall)

I've been wanting to replace my 4425's with 4430's and a very nice pair of 4430's have come up for sale locally. Unfortunately, I believe the seller is asking too much, or maybe I'm out of touch with what 4430's are selling for. The seller is asking $3,600 and I believe he's firm on the price. The hunt continues!

That's pretty steep. I doubt a nice pair of 4435's would get near that price.

Maybe he'll come down to Earth and lower the price. In the meantime, I'll keep listening to my 4425's.

I sold my pair for $1,100 with new foams on the woofers from OCS, but the cabinets weren't perfect and one had a "dented" corner.
