    S3900s inbound!

    I will be receiving a pair of gently used S3900 speakers next week. I went back and forth trying to decide between Array 1400s or the S3900s, but for my small room I felt the S3900 would be the best fit. I will post pics and listening thoughts once they get here.

    Be honest, did the way they look have anything to do with your decision? I love the way the 1400's sound but sure wish they didn't look like a man eating duck.

    While I do prefer the aesthetics of the S3900 over the 1400, I could have easily gone with the 1400 if it fit. I had Array 800s for a couple of years and the vertical horn didn't bother me at all.

    Do they happen to be coming to you from Home Audio Sound in Colorado?

    They would have had I bought new, but these came from a private seller.

    Nope, Scoutmaster 2 turntable is sitting on top of a 3" thick maple block.

    Those are nice looking speakers, congrats on the purchase.

    What are the other speakers off to the sides?

    Thanks, the other speakers are Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Baby Grand SEs. Also an excellent speaker, but very different from the JBLs.

    Awesome. Congrats on finally getting them! And you have an Accuphase integrated, another winner. It looks like you have many hours of great listening sessions ahead of you!
