JBL 4333B or L 300?

[invstbiker]

THX ROBH & Mvaldes for the A&B Difference. The chart really helps ,


NOW, any guns for hire to upgrade my crossovers? Or is it possible this is "oh so secret" info here?

Peter, With only 20 posts on the board you have an odd way of gaining credibility.

Steve, speaking from experience you might try at least bypassing or charge - coupling the networks.

These were developments implemented by JBL that followed in successive models and other product ranges over time. So its reasonable to assume these updates will enhance the JBL sound. Giskard has pretty well pioneered these updates on the forums.

If you use the search function there are numerous threads on this topic..


Enjoy

Now do you honestly think we are out running amok killing the JBL sound?

I'm getting bored schooling you guys...

No way!

That reminds me Audiobeer... isn't it time you posted a few pictures of those loudspeakers you've been working on?

Everyone who is anyone has to own at least one pair of JBL's sporting Studio Monitor Blue baffles.

I have four pair, and it still ain't enough. I've secretly figured it IS the sound. All that component and signal path hocus-pocus have absolutely nothing to do with it...

[Titanium Dome]

4333B for me. It's all about the blue baffles.

Everyone who is anyone has to own at least one pair of JBL's sporting Studio Monitor Blue baffles.

Missed the boat again! No blue here.

Heck, those darn 4430s I got don't have blue baffles either.

Even in JBL Land, I'm such a dork!

Finally joined the "blue baffles", a pair of 4301b. Also swapped out my L300 136a woofers to 2235h woofers.

The crossover on 4333/L300 can be improved a lot, but you can't get it to sound like the 4343 as they are two different speakers.

Rolf

Rolf says it! NO xover mod can substitude the 10inch mid driver. Should be clear.
The 43xx crossover benefit from:
- Changing the old caps to new and better types
- Bypassing the caps
- biasing the whole mess (do a search for "charge couple" or "biased")
If you feel confident to do it yourself, do it.
If you need help, ask loud and clear for help and you'll get it.

Non of the experts here will ever kill the "JBL sound". Permanent banning would be the result

OK Dad

Hey Peter,

you should use the knowledge of Giskard instead of writing stupid nonsense. I'm sure he knows the answers to your handful of speaker questions

[Peter Becker]

Ok Sorry for my stupid nonsense.I am not the JBL Doctor.

[4313B]

It's too bad these threads have to turn out this way.

Hey Giskard. Remember in the "old days" you was probably learning too. Let us (mostly you) share what we know to the "not so learned". After we are gone somebody has to give it away. You with all of your tecnical an other know-how, and maybe me with the little I know reagrding to listening to sound.

Your friend Rolf in Norway.

Aren't you happy as hell you didn't have me build you those 4333 networks back then Rolf? It worked out after all didn't it. I'm really quite happy you ended up with the 4343's.
