It seems like the 4311's , 4310's and L100's are in the background of more old studio photos than any other JBL. Keith Richards actually mentions JBL speakers a couple of times in his book.
Mothersbaugh with "TONTO" at his Studio, and a pair of 4333's I think. Stevie Wonder used this setup pretty extensively too

Apologies for the terrible quality of this clip, actually it's Lindsay Buckingham's fault One of his home videos of a recording session for Tusk, 4311's in use.

I've seen a few PMC models in-person at Audio Classics and the cabinet work looks second to none, but that sewer grate over the woofers is pretty loud. I'd assume that in a studio the aesthetic wouldn't matter so much.
They did sound pretty damned good though. The transmission-line low end was among the best I'd ever heard.
