I think 4313B did just that some time ago, with a PT-F95HF horn

3900 looks greatany improvement?

[4313B]

Rumor has it the S3900 will eventually be available in the Americas and Europe after its Asian debut.

Guess what the price it will be?

[martin_wu99]

Interesting design indeed!

With a new 10" woofer, 100Fe:

I'm very intestering in this one,how do you think of it?why not double 12'?

Its all about the price point - every driver costs money and dual drivers means the cabinet has to be larger
and that again, increases the price ...

But he sold JBL 66000 for Wilson ALEXANDRA?

[hjames]

You should buy whatever you like ...
I was speaking of the S3900 and answered your question why not dual 12s instead of the 10 inch driver?

the rest is way off tangent

But you should buy Wilson or anything your little heart desires ...

Despite the macho superiority of the Japanese audiophile space is becoming an issue and the VAS and the diameter of the 12 inch driver dominate enclosure size and the room when you are talking dual 12's. Attempting to crossover the 12 inch driver below 1000-1200 hertz will alao result in a wide baffle that may not be suitable for market appeal.

The 10 incher however can operate up to 1600 hertz or higher and the result is a higher crossover point and a narrower front baffle that will sound better and look better in a space that will not accept a system the proportions of the Everest. In fact I thought the 9900 I heard in SF in 2010 as bought by Ti Dome was superior in the room we had on hand at the show.

Hence the old adage, big speakers belong and sound better in big rooms

Enter the dual 10 inch system

Then why so many japanese play big JBL speakers in their narrow house?

That maybe but its not the end of the market this design is focusing on.

Many is not all and speaking from practical experience the retail of slender tallboy systems is alive and well.

So wonderful you had a trip to Japan
I think JBL slim system is more attractive for those who care about their room decoration than the sound quality

[SEAWOLF97]

I think JBL slim system is more attractive for those who care about their room decoration than the sound quality

and why do you think this, Martin ? Have you heard this system ?

[Titanium Dome]

I concur with your opinion, Martin. Looks play an important role in these things. Especially in areas where this is a significant factor, attractiveness is a key motivator.

Many here have made their own wonderful custom speakers using JBL and other components, and we often rave at the looks and the quality of construction. We can never hear them, but we believe they are awesome nonetheless because they look so amazing.

I will say however, that a "slim" system like the K2 S9900 appeals to me more than an Everest II DD66000, or a "slim" 4430 appeals more than a 4435, because they both look and sound better in the kinds of environments I can provide. So, it's not always about caring more about room decoration than sound quality. It's also about the right speaker for the room, Hopefully, we find both an attractive speaker and good room compatibility in the same loudspeaker.
