    My new JBL 4429

    Hallo!

    I had JBL 4319 before and I got me a brand new JBL 4429 instead.

    Wow, I must say, great sounding speakers. Horn sound is, well, horn sound just sounds nice. I just connected it about two hours ago. Sounds allready good. Playing at same volume setting as with the 4319, namly at 50% at the volume on my McIntosh C48 and the amp is the same MC252.

    Break-in don't know what this mean

    Fantastic speakers and job well done JBL.

    Yummie.........

    "Location: Earp" doesn't really tell us much - are you US based or Europe/Asia?

    If US based, remember - we're always interested in how us JBL fans get a pair of Asia-market speakers ...

    They do look great and if the sound is there too, why buy worn older speakers?

    It is not a subwoofer, it is a Helmholtz resonator, Varitunes V6.

    Hallo!

    Thanks all for the kind comments

    Yesterday, I play around 25-250Watts on my MC252 for 6 hours and I consider them to be broken in now. I will continue to play loud today as well, it sounds fantastic. I am so pleased with them.

    One can order all of the Studio Monitors on Swedish website as well

    I bought it from an authorized dealer here in Sweden. You can order and buy directly from Harman webpage http://www.jbl.com/localeselector/index.html. Really don't undertand why you folks from US can't buy it.

    Don't understand what you mean by "why buy worn older speakers?" It is brand new .

    No no - it was a compliment -
    if you can buy nice new speakers like this, why would anyone buy old speakers instead ...

    4429 has two versions A and B
    JBL seems form some fixed combinations such as 175Nd-3+138Nd in 4429,S4600,S4700,S3900
    435AL+045Ti in 1400,4338,4348,but 4365 is a exception

    Thanks for pointing that out martin. I'm still surprised that you can order online via the UK site! If I had the money right now, I would be getting a pair of those babies (4365).
