JBL 4345 refurbished

[hjames]

Yup, you are right. The pattern reverses. But the "Jazz" poster.......better at your place than mine.

Agreed on that Jazz poster - ugh!

It is. Really motivates me to post pictures here of my humble abode. Any chance of staying on topic?

Post away - we're just here for the speakers anyhow ...

I generally avoid it myself... at least JeffW has an interior decorator, I could use one.

Any chance of staying on topic?

What was the topic anyway?

It seems to me that someone discovered some folks who fix up vintage JBLs, he wanted to share his find and a bunch of folks are poking his find with a stick. As far as I can tell he posted pics of some pretty decent looking 4345s and for some reason people would rather talk about some goofy stuff they've seen elsewhere.

He his promoting rev-jbl, which is the ebay seller some members where pointing here (including the flashy red 4333 speakers). And frankly, I am 90% sure he actually is the man behind rev-jbl (which is fine as you said, as long as he makes it clear from the start)

Rev-JBL is the ebay ID of the company that posted the weird colorized monitors that I was calling virtual speakers
because they look like created images, rather than photos of real speakers ... its all on topic of the original firm ..

Theses speakers were refurbished by a French company: REV-JBL.
You can visit it's website here: rev-jbl.com
There are a lot of other speakers.
It seems that Kenrick sound has a new competitor all over the world!

I guess my feeling is if he is as you and several others suspect, then he is a liar plain and simple, but since there is no proof of that, I say we take him at his word.

Now, if you and others want to start a thread pointing out how ludicrous the eBay ads for that company are, that's fine by me.

Perhaps make that more clear? As in, maybe they can do great work, but it's too bad they don't show it. Or something even snarkier if you feel the need... without breaking our rules of course.

But why bother... so what if someone wants to test PT Barnum's famous quote.

Sorry - I just wanted to show the linkage to ebay and their store -
and the kind of thing their ads promoted -
the high prices and some of the flashy colors combos they presented -
I figured that pretty much said it all!

But non-standard color combinations aside -
the ebay ads would look better with high quality photos of actual speakers,
instead of the illustrations/simulations I found that are currently being used.

Hello Widget,

I want only share our French JBL stuff with members of the most world popular JBL Forum.

It's quite sure that the images on ebay are so, because color lacquering is on demand! It's just "color simulation" .

I was believing, maybe in my french dream about wonderful relationship with America, that American people could be proud of frenchies JBL worship! Afterall, JBL is an American brand, isn't it?

I m a bit disappointed, now

Please accept my apologies, if you have thought about advertisement from REV-JBL.

Best regards
Antoine

Hello Antoine

You should always put your best foot forward. Looking at what's on the site I wouldn't take it seriously. I see the simulations and to me they look like toys. If you have good quality photo's of your work or of their work that's what should be posted. I do not like those color schemes and frankly don't understand why anyone would want to take a pair of real JBL's and refinish them that way, as I see it it will not increase their value and may in fact do the opposite. They look like they are getting prepared for installation in a club with the cone guards and the colors.

Please keep posting more pictures if you have them. At least we can see what they really look like and get some idea of what the shop can do. There were some nice looking 4343 and 4333 in the photo. Were they refurbished as well?? Post some of those if you can and I think you will find a much more accepting audience on this site.

You have to be in the same league to compete ..... I seriously doubt thats the case . Kenrick don't use anything but , JBL parts . I see on the French website that some parts are not original . Fair enough if they are using ,TAD , Gotto , or Ale but their not .

This French outfit are obviously passionate about what they do ,but they have a long,long way to go to be able to stand next to Kenrick sound .

good luck to them , Rich
