Hi everyone,
I've been floating around the forum for a few weeks now, trying to educate myself about older JBL monitors. I'm buying a set of 4311's in the next few days and and wanted to ask for a bit of advice. They're from Craigslist here in Vancouver, Canada and the guy is asking $350 CND ($313 USD). I've attached a picture below; as you can see, they have some stains on the woofer, unmatched housings (term?) on the MF and are missing the badges. He says "they're not the prettiest pair around but are fully functional and recently serviced by X [a good local shop]". He also says the drivers are all matched.
So, is this a good price? Are there any things I should be on the look for when I go see them?
Second question: I want to buy a new amp for them. I have an old Sansui AU-2900 right now which wont put out enough power (i don't think). Can anyone recommend a decent used amp for around $400 or so? Alternatively, I've heard that Bi-amping 4311's is a marriage made in heaven. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
ps. they do have grilles.
