    JBL 4345 or 4355? please advise

    Hello guys !
    It has been one year since I haven't posted to this forum.
    I want to start a DIY project but I'am not sure what to do. My wish is to build 4355 cabinets and buy all the original components with cc networks but ..I also heard that 4345 are great 4 way speakers.
    I read a lot of postings here on this forum and saw that more prefered are the 4345.
    I do not like to listen very loud (Very rare over 50W) but I 'am looking for a good clear dynamic , Bi-amplified JBL 4 way sound. My room is probably 20 square feet.
    I have my 4333A for 2 years and i am very happy with them , just looking to go 4 ways and because my bugget does not allow me to purchase all the drivers at once and I will buy them probably from ebay and from this forum in time.
    I would need your opinion on this one.
    Thanks

    your 2 4333A's should use up ALL that 20 square feet with NO room to even sit.

    20 square feet=4x5 foot.

    OR

    is your room 20 feet square ?? 20x20=400 square feet.
    Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles

    my room is 4X5 foot,
    I'am looking for better and improved sound. That's why I thought about a 4 way speaker system.
    I love my 4333A but I would really like to listen a 4345 or a 4355 to see if it worths the money and the effort involved in this project

    4x5... meters or yards?

    If not, I hope the door opens outward.

    "Lower" listening levels? 4345 would be my preference over 4355.

    Hi grumpy, thanks for your opinion ,
    I have heard only good things about 4345. For now I use 4x5 meeters
    About 4355, besides I love their design much more then a 4345 ,I read on the forum that most users hate the 2202H freq.
    My room it's not much but in the future when I will finish building my new house I prepared a 7x9 meeters. Actualy the plan was to fit my clones in this large room.

    I've only heard the dual 15" monitor in a radio station, not in a home, so don't weigh my opinion too heavily. I would expect either choice to be very impressive, if in different ways.

    That alone is reason enough to go that route. I agree that the horizontal pair of 15"ers is very macho looking....

    Having heard both a number of times in different rooms, I'd suggest the 4355s have more punch and will play stupid loud extremely well. The 4345s have a bit more nuance and detail.

    Both systems are big and bold and will certainly impress... I do prefer the newer designs as tonal accuracy and imaging are important to me, but for the cost of a pair of 43XX clones or even fine vintage originals, it is hard to go wrong.
