Lovely. I'm shure they will benefit with proper drivers installed. Could you post some pics of your dj setup. Seems like pioneer 800's and some sweet turntables. I guess you use those 4530's for monitoring correct? Must be quite some sound in the living room..

I LOVE that DJ desk. 3 TT, wow. Do you spinn them all 3 at the same time? Carl Cox did if I remember correctly.

....and that Phone instead of the usual headphones... Outstanding

Hi,

Very nice set-up you got!!! Have you put any damping material in the compression chamber just on the back side of the E-130?

I'm using the 4530 with a old 2220a with the original diaphragme. Before it was the K-145 but I got the feeling that I did miss some level around 300 - 500Hz. I got it now with the JBL2220a..

I post a small composit of 3 snapshot of my set-up (info.: 2350+2445, 2402)(4642a + 2240)

wow lovely pair !! you keep it original and thats the real deal! my 4530 when i bought them where in very bad shape ... so i try to rebuild them but the best i could do was that you see in my photos! the material behind the E-130 is the original material that the 4530 got ! .... The sound with the E-130 is enough full but not at its lows that u need to play loud to feel the bass... but its ok for home use!!.. i love your speakers for sure!
