The new 4365 has the distinction of being the first large format JBL Studio Monitor to be made exclusively outside the United States (Made in Mexico).

[Valentin]

Could you post the 4365 tech papers

form the Graff's posted some time ago it seemed a very smooth and extended freq response


did stereo sound mag put the info out

Don't you fellows think that the speakers can be made with the same quality in Mexico as in the US?

Just wondering.

P.S.

Good luck in Mexico with the fight between the State vs the "Drug barons".

Yes they can make good products, IF there is an emphasis on Quality.
I have limited edition Telecaster, the all the parts were made and finished in Mexico, but the assembly of the guitar was in the US. The quality of the parts is top notch.
But even Fender realized the need for US made guitars, they cost about 3~5 times more than the Mex ones, but they SELL!

[Valentin]

the H driver has been done for many years in Mexico

the Revel concerta line has been done in Mexico and many others

65 year is a great spec hope Gregs team makes another great icon

probably he will be retiring soon ( he surly deserves a great commemorative product with his name in a template )

[tarior]

I don't care how good the quality is. I won't pay JBL price for outsourced product. I hope many more folks will share that sentiment.
As far as I'm concerned, if they can't make their products here, I just assume they go out of business.

??? What do you mean?

Someday. Practice makes perfect. America has exported its technology and expertise so I don't see why not. China just came up with the J-20. They didn't just happen on it while digging for coal... that's exported American technology and expertise. I'm anxious to see if these fighters will be available at Walmart prices because I want one.

Yep. That pretty much sums up my viewpoint.

Get the picture? Greg does...

The Northridge facility will probably end up looking like the facilities scattered all across the American rustbelt...

Yeah but that's going to come to an end too if those in power get their way and finally kill off the middle-class once and for all.

[Mr. Widget]

Now, now... that is a political statement and we all know where they lead. Besides no one wants to kill off the middle class... our demise is simply collateral damage.

So, 65 years! Hard to believe the Everest II role out was that long ago!!
