    Guess,what is next???

    since k2s9900 announced for years,and because of s9500 with s5500,s9800 with 5800,i think s9900 will have his younger brother s5900 soon
    the drivers would be 2x1201FE(jerry will make it),435AL,045TI, who konws?
    How do you think?
    And we have'nt seen 18 inches large format studio monitor for a long time,will it be?

    that's because the "bedroom" DJs/Producers (a market segment buying a ton of production gear in recent years) would have no place to put the monitors...

    The SRX738 would be the closest match

    What you mean is that you don't like huge 18' in your room?
    After k2s9500 and 66000,we don't see double 15' speakers for a long time either,what's wrong with JBL?

    We are not the average buyer We are JBL Fanatics.
    We don't care about big boxes and multiple 15 and 18 speakers in our room -
    for us its about the results and the beautiful sound IS the result!

    Other people prefer beautiful rooms, and speakers are not beautiful to them,
    so speakers for them must be small and hidden.

    So - better for us in the used speaker market!

    i have in my basement stereo system:
    4x JBL 2241 (2x 4642A cabinets, 1 per side)
    4x TAD 1601a (2 sealed cabinets per side)
    2x JBL 2440 be diaphragms on 350Hz edgar or DAS acoustical lens horn
    2x JBL 076
    2x Fostex bullet

    plus four EAW SB48 (dual 8") subwoofers that I am playing around with....


    although my wife thinks the system is too large,
    i remind her of the physics studies she did at university
    and that I am in an empirical testing phase still....

    it's a fun system to play with, IMO....

    Hi Martin!
    The 4345 was the only hifi/monitoring speaker produced by JBL to embark a 18", and I think it was not such a success at the time (probably due to the passive xover)

    a quote from GT about the 4345 and its reception in the studio monitoring market at the time:
    It was never very successful during its life time primarily due to its size. Most people would get something smaller. It also had a reputation for less than detailed bass, which I have always thought was due to the enclosure not being quite large enough.
    Fact is dual 15" is assisted alignment (4435 or E2, with only one of the two drivers reaching a high crossover point) seems to typically produce better/deeper/cleaner bass than a single 18"
    (that being said, I have 18" in my system, because I think 15" are for sissies (and I cannot even understand how we can let people with 14" participate to this forum ))

    What's wrong with 15's?!? They make perfectly good mid-bass drivers.
    If we knew what the hell we were doing, we wouldn't call it research would we.

    You know... I'm beginning to agree with you.

    All joking aside, the E145 is an awesome mid-bass driver... I guess it can go low enough for some, but augmented by a sub it is simply an outstanding mid-bass. The 2220s aren't bad either, but the curvilinear cone is prone to break up when pushed.

    18' is too difficult to handle with? why Westlake has many 18' loudspeakers?
