4365's in the US? Yup.

[pos]

Barry, I think you also have 2216Nd's somewhere.
How are you using them and how do you feel they compare with the 1200/1500 series?

[1audiohack]

I had those for a month or two a couple of years ago and to be quite honest I don't recall their character in great detail. I do remember thinking that for any kind of domestic use I would never buy 2226's again.

I decided to buy a pair two months ago and the part number no longer comes up in spare parts or finished goods and I haven't figured out why.

Hi All;

For those interested, here is a long term listening observation regarding the bass balance of the 4365's.

The 4365's are +6dB more sensitive than the 1400 Arrays they displaced. The 1500 Array subs are still in place. The subs have been turned down -1.5dB over the course of time and this seems like the level they will likely stay.

In short, if the 4365's are bass shy, the 1400 Arrays must really suck! Not.

Hopefully for those who have not heard the 4365's but have heard the 1400 Arrays, this will be helpful.

The 4365's continue to amaze, the best loudspeaker money I have ever spent. No doubt.

Wish you were here!


All the best,
Barry.

Thanks for the update... interesting details, though not unexpected by me having heard both speakers in my room. I'm really glad to hear you are so happy with them!

Thanks for the comparison, interesting.
Anyone compared 4365 to K2 S4700 or S9000?

[Mctwins]

Hallo!

I bet it is a great speakers you got there. I will find out next week when I get mine

Will open a new thread with pictures

That's awesome Barry!!

I am glad you are enjoying your new audio purchase.

My Array 9900's are exactly as you describe but I don't have Array 1500's but 2245's instead. Enjoy!!

That can be done, but it would be a real pain in the ass. I can take my S4700s over to Barry's place, or Barry can bring his 4365s down here to mine. haha.

I am not moving these heavy things!

One of my friends just ordered a pair. He has a pristine pair of 4343's currently. What he thinks about them will be interesting to me for sure.

I have a cool story to share: last weekend my daughter and I were listening and the Simon and Garfunkle song The Boxer came on and I was again reminded that I had never figured out what the instument that comes in in the second verse and plays a fairly major part in the third verse was. I had always asked myself what it is but never figured it out.

I asked her, what do you think that is? So we listened to it a couple of times and her thinking went like this: It's not synthesized, listen to all the harmonics and the cut, it's definitely a reid instrument, actually siunds like a double reid but it's not a bassoon, certainly not an oboe,,, I jokingly said do they make really big Kazoos? She said yeah it kind of has that rattle but it's not long, it's not a horn but it's real deep, I don't think I have ever heard it, what ever it is.

So we looked it up, have you ever seen a bass harmonica?!? They are double stacked and 23" long! Some of them have 394 reids! I had no idea.

So in reality, her listening impressions were nearly perfect in trying to guess what it was. I'm a proud papa.

These speakers are far and away the most dynamicly transparent speakers that I have ever had, by a wide margin. We have never been able to listen so far into our music before and, isn't that what they are supposed to be?

I listened to them for three hours tonight and I just can't say enough.

Sorry to gush and blog but they are exciting, I just love them. Go out an getcha some!

Barry.

As soon as I have a 'spare' $15k, I will.

Perhaps in the next life. Not this one.

Well, I'm adverse to moving these heavy things as well! And yours are another 50 lbs. heavier per speaker!

Maybe you'll bring 'em down when I get the big high-end amp upgrade? haha.
That's a real cool story; glad you continue to enjoy them more and more!

And question: why aren't the 4365s listed on the Synthesis website?

Because JBL is still being led by the wrong people?
