The 4355's are easier to build but still no small chore make no mistake they are big if you don't have room for them in their original configuration you better do as I did and they are bi-amp only.

The L-pad knobs that I ordered from Russia arrived today, the only difference from the ones that Sign-shop sells is that they have a glossy finish instead of satin. Saved myself a bunch of money there.

Now that I have listened to these 4355 clones for a few weeks to everything from classical to blues I have to admit they sound a lot better than my 4345's. More clarity, others would say louder, that's true but it's the clarity that makes me happy. The mids and highs are much more defined than before. Not that I didn't like the 4345's, I did but I like these better. I don't know how much not having my 4345's bi amped contributes to this but it's too late to find out now.

Hi quindecima,

Talking about 4345 vs 4355, I would suggest to try to apply 2450 (sl diaphragm) with 2311 horn and 2308 lenses on 4345 box, and then to compare them. From my opinion in 4345, 2420&2307 is the "weakest " elements.
