Hi all, newbie alert here. Just joined this forum to learn about (vintage) JBL speakers. I'm a life long music freak and my music taste started with Donna's 'I feel love' and everything after that that is (obscure) disco, (old school) House, Dance, Italo, you name it. If it was played in the clubs in the '80-s, I like it. Those were my teen years and in the clubs I was always impressed with the JBL speaker systems.
Nowadays also the occasional cuddle together on the couch music is also appreciated, but my heart is with the club scene music.
Nowadays I'm a family man (hahaha) and my system is vintage Accuphase C222 and P266, a LAD turntable, lotsa 12" and the occasional streaming. Recently we moved homes and I had to give up my dedicated music room. It was very small, but treated acoustically and the Amphion Athene speakers were Spot On with decent low (due to small room). Now in the new living room (4 by 8 meters) they just don't do it anymore for me... So to compliment my vintage gear I'd like to add this old love, JBL speakers...
But I have no clue which one?! I'm looking for low end you can lean on (well, I like lows) also on low(er) volumes, but must be controlled (NO BOOM!), and they just have to make my feet tap...
Visually they should be appealing too. For example, the NEW (not vintage...) 4306 are really great looking speakers, although I doubt the 8" woofer will fulfil my low end needs. Budget is around 2000 Euro's.
THANKS!!!!
