So,whaddaya got in yer JBL collection?

[marcuswilson]

I sold most of my JBL systems in favour of building some.

Picture of my studio with one pair of 4355 standing on another pair of 4355 (only one pair hooked up): http://www.aamasters.co.nz/

Previously had 4435s and found them considerably inferior to the 4355.

Sold the 4435s to a friend who also bought one pair of my 4355s. Both pairs are running in his lounge. Sold the other pair of 4355 to another friend and we cut the front lips off, rounded the corners, filled the spare holes, and painted them gloss black. He sold his Wilson WITT speakers to get the JBLs. I thought the Wilsons were aweful.

Have built new speakers with 2 @ 2215 in a D'Appolito configuration with 2441 on DDS waveguide between the 15s. Not happy with them yet, need time to build a new crossover.

That's my new background

My own set consists of SR4725s, a pair of 123A drivers (in DIY open baffle 2 way), pair 2213 drivers (going to be tested in said 2 way) and LE8Ts in Lancer 33s. There are also 122A drivers, but they're so far out of spec that I modded them to be subs (cone coatings to add mass). It's the quality of the transducers rather than completed systems that gives me happy, with JBL.

The LE8Ts in the Lancers are about as good a midrange as I've ever heard, and I've heard a lot of speakers. They're currently set up in my living room, but I'll probably do some better box designs for that driver. The front edge overhang on the box, more than anything else, is a diffraction nightmare.

I have just a single pair of 4301Bs so far.

I love them, and they're the reason I discovered this board. These were simply given to me when I discovered them in my girlfriend's dad's junk shed. I was not too sure what they were when I ran across them, but I always keep my eyes out for interesting, high-quality speakers, so I popped the grills off to have a look. I immediately recognized that unmistakable shade of blue from pictures of vintage JBL monitors I'd run across somewhere online, so I was pretty excited.

Now I can't stop learning JBL speakers. I find vintage audio technology extremely fascinating, and superior in many ways. I'm also pretty optimistic about future finds now, knowing that these are still out there waiting to be found!

That reminds me of the saying I heard was attributed to the M&K folks (I miss them) but who knows, it's probably much older, but ... "there are no grills like no grills".

Otherwise, Now that my VTABA [Vintage Tube Amp Buying Addiction] has been largely appeased, my H/D/SBA [Horn/Driver/Speaker Buying Addiction] has become a bit out of hand lately buying for projects I keep thinking of but never seem to get off my keester to start and/or complete ... but I've amassed a decent quantity of used gear that I'll have to inventory and share in another post...
