    It's as simple as having different castings and paint for Pro versus Consumer.
    They really are 100% identical in functionality.
    I'm glad that's finally put to rest!

    Peter, I have 4333a, with 2231a, original cone. A test with the 2235 is disappointing. Not low medium, compression gets along too much.

    Others made the crossover as well. LE10, 115, 116, 127, 128, 2242, 2245, etc jumped ship and started being used in Pro stuff.
    I remember the sentence "JBL Pro systems are not intended for home use"

    Interesting. I have also wondered why JBL set up this confusing dual numbering system which drives newbees like me mad. Then I had a thought, could it be to support two different dealer networks and avoid competition between them. I know of a recent example where Infocus made a projector which was suitable both for home theatre & office presentations (X1) and then quickly brought out two different models - one essentially a rebadged X1 (4800) for the home theatre market and a down optioned one (X2) for the office market which was less suitable for home theatre.

    The beauty of the X1 was that you could haggle with both the office and home theatre dealers to get the best deal and that was probably why the model was discontinued in spite of being a good seller.

    Regards
    Ted

    No, that wasn't the point. The real reason was because once you say something shouldn't be used a certain way everyone is going to want to use it that way. If you say "JBL Professional Products are not intended for household use" everyone and their brother is going to want to drag a pair home.

    It worked in Japan... Unfortunately it didn't work all that great here because JBL was already a hated brand name amongst the "audiophile" crowd.

    Yes, there were two networks and they did seem to discourage interaction. JBL did make a few "Pro" models available to Consumer Dealers. Naturally Pro Dealers wanted nothing to do with any Consumer stuff. These days all the 43xx stuff is Consumer stuff.
