Hello everybody,
New to the forum..
Was thinking of replacing my current JBL's and went and Listened to a pair of S4600 recently and found them to be a very nice speaker, genuine veneer timber, compression drivers for both the upper treble range and high frequencies.
A 14" woofer (LE14H-4)
Extended high frequency 3/4" titanium diaphragm (138Nd)
High frequency 1- 3/4" tweeter (175Nd-3)
These drivers are made/sourced in the US for the S4600's l think?
Got the looks and sound great.
Had a look around the back of them and on the label it states that they're made in Mexico.
l currently own a pair of JBL S312 in beech finish and l feel as though they were on a par with the S4600's, sound wise.
l think the drivers are from Audex in my S312's?
The S4600's are expensive and sound great but not $000's better than the S312's (and they're made in the US).
For the time being l'll keep my S312's which l've had since new...but l got the JBeL bug and am always looking out.
Also had a listen to some old L200's in a local used HI FI shop the other day. They did sound very nice, but didn't buy them.
Bit sore on myself now for not purchasing them but l felt they are getting a bit old now and although rare, newer materials and production methods in the new products is really the way to go???
Thanks for reading, all the best...
