So it looks as though I will be in Rockford for a while, long enough to resume my speaker project. It will be a few months, probably Thanksgiving until I can get the stuff out of storage so I am thinking to get a pair of speakers to have in the mean time and while I am working on my project.
I am looking for recommendations for 3 way JBL Studio Monitors with a 12 woofer. I am not familiar with the JBL Studio Monitor lines so some recommendations would be greatly appreciated, especially if you could give the basis for your recommendation.
The considerations are;
Sound quality. Im looking for reference quality so that I have a starting point for the speakers I will build
Price Up to $1,200
Value (sound quality/price)
Resaleability, I would most likely resell them once I have completed my speaker project.
It would be a big plus if they were somewhere close enough to Rockford that I could see and hear them and pick them up rather than ship them. That being said I can be somewhat flexible as to condition if they are priced right and are one of the better examples of 3 way JBL Studio Monitors with a 12 woofer. To give an example of flexibility, there is a pair of 4312s nearby. If they are among the better examples of SQ I would consider them at a little better price. http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/el...677438929.html
I guess the first thing to establish is what 3 way JBL Studio Monitors with a 12 woofer were made and then rank them as to SQ. Once I have that list I can see what the going rate is for them and determine relative value. Then I can look seriously.
