    Interesting to read the comments talking about how such JBL monitors aren't capable of high volume output! I believe that really was the reason for the 4355 and I know how loud a 4345 will get!

    So, we're all agreeing on how to spell "Kenrick" and that we're talking about the same thing?

    Well... at the end of the video he had to go outside...

    It reminded me of a buddy of mine and his 4355's in his 9 x 12 bedroom. But hey, he wanted the loudspeakers, and where to put them was a distant second consideration.

    The physical length of a 20Hz sound wave may be 55-feet but that doesn't mean you can't hear/feel it inside a 12x12-foot room. I sit ten-feet from a JBL 18-inch woofer and a double-bass sounds like a double-bass. Supposedly the lowest note Edgar Meyer's 5-string bass hits is around 31Hz. That's a 36-foot soundwave.

    I agree ..... ..but I was just giving ..straight feedback ...on his room was hardly 12x12 anyway''
    and I didn't see any evidence of an EQ job anywhere..........
    plus I suspect his camera/mic setup might have some issues....to boot

    You seem to be really hung-up on EQ!

    My system, for instance, has a Soundcraftsmen Pro-EQ 44 in one loop but I only use it to mimic some Fletcher-Munson loudness curves for low-level listening. The system is measured as fairly flat in my room at "normal" levels using just the L-pads on the 4345s and the adjustments for level in the Ashly crossover. But then it's a well-damped 12 x 16' room with equal outlets at both ends opposite the speakers and plenty of soft stuff. I like the sound using the "direct" setting on my Soundcraftsmen Pro-Control-Four pre-amp which by-passes all tone and EQ. Speakers are toed-in about 30-degrees, about 10-feet apart with the seating position about 10-ft from each. I have no problem making bass in that small room!

    Still trying to figure out what anything posted in this thread has to do with Kenrick Sound.

    Sounds like you got a sweet system..
    And this thread is not about bass ..directly
    Abe's magic walk.. to the 55 ft mark and new bass
    at the end of his speaker audition ...just demonstrates how easy
    it is to pic apart a demo on you tube...
    Rock On....

    I think the white and the blue speakers in the Kenrick Sound pictures would look better in my living room!

    If not them, how about a link to the Kenrick Audition video of which you speak ...?

    Maybe its these folks?

    I tried that. It works a lot better if you type "Kenrick speaker test" instead.

    Obviously not ...

    maybe we can get a Mod to at least correct the title of the thread ...
    ... in honour of bigtime JBL fans Ken, and Rick!
