Hello gents. :) Long time since I've poked around here.
I found a NOS pair of SR4725X's at a local dealer at a very good price but haven't had the chance to really hear them properly. Too many customers around to get them up to normal levels that I'd be using them at, but first blush was that they were fairly hot in the midrange and would probably require a sub, and/or judicious EQ'ing.
Since I play drums and we often rehearse at my place, these would be for band use as monitors, to help with reinforcement at gigs, as well as monitors for playback when I practice. Right now we're using my basement for this, which is approx. 28' x 33' x 7.75'.
I have the general specs (except the distortion, impedance curve, power compression, etc.) from JBL and they look good. The cabs being 13-ply birch is one thing I like about them, much better than some current designs.
Questions are:
A. When were these in production? As far as I know they were early 2000's.
B. What are the general thoughts on their sound and reliability? Of course I'm going to have to hear them more before I jump, but I'd be interested in any opinions from the folks here.
C. Where do I find the other specs - FR/compression/impulse/imp. graphs, distortion specs?
TIA!
