I always wanted a pair of large JBL studio monitors. And finally I got them!
I had to go a long way to pick them up, all the way to Copenhagen in Denmark.
I live in Sandefjord, Norway, and to get to Copenhagen I can drive a LOOOONG way, or take a flight for little more than an hour.
I took the flight, and brought my wife and daughter and took it as a short vacation, spending two days in wonderful Copenhagen.
I was a bit worried getting the big boxes home. Not only for overweight, but how will the airline staff treat the big beauties? I had no boxes to put them in, and had to send them as they are. At the doorstep to the aircraft, I looked into the cargo compartment, and saw the compartment was packet to the max, and my speaker were standing by the door, with suitcases on top. I was very nervous. And were sure the "black bottoms" would crack on the way over.
But they arrived pretty good in shape, a corner on top had got a hard push, otherwise fine.
It was a thrill of a trip, and lot of heavy lifting. From Jeppes home in 4th floor (no elevator) to my own home in Sandefjord. A exiting trip that will be rememberd.
But finally, I have a pair of nice 4430 in my home. They need to be reconed, but when that is done, I can`t wait to hear them play.
