The 70’s are back

When I bought my JBL 4319 monitors, the JBL-100 were being shown off but were not for sale as of then. Although I love my 4319s, the fact that the midrange is pure pulp paper, like the woofer, kinda piques my interest. Don't get me wrong as I love what I hear with the Mag/Al midrange in my 4319s, but......

That, and they are priced the same as the 4319 monitors and have the optional retro stands, which I had to source from Deer Creek Audio. It's just that classic look of the egg crate grills, especially in orange, that floats my boat.

@d2girls, nice to hear how much you love your JBL 4367 speakers and the base they can conjure. If anyone knows drivers, it's JBL.

All the best,

@nonoise I don’t have them yet, merely placed a deposit. I’m waiting for the kinki mx1 to arrive before I arrange the dealer to deliver.

so far I've had a good audition session that completely sold me on them. As I said before rush was WOWZA! The visceralness of the drum kit in yyz and Tom Sawyer was intense. If my KEF ls50 and Harbeth were 6/10 and 8/10 respectively in terms of dynamics, the JBL are completely off the charts at 25/10. 

As well, the dealars room was a coffin! 12x12 and I was sitting barely 6 feet away... even the very slight head adjustment I could make (the only adjustment, given the extremely tight distance to the speakers) , was enough to make the sound a lo more clear. Imagine how good it will sound 10 feet away. They're only going to sound better in my room. 

@d2girls, I believe the L-100s have a similar, if not the same, 12" base driver that my 4319s have and it can pound out the tunes without raising a sweat. That, and the lower end is so much more convincing coming out of a transducer that can adequately produce those lower wavelengths again, without a breaking a sweat.

It all adds to the realism of the sound staging, the accuracy of the layering, and the overall coherence that can be achieved when a driver can do what it's intended to do.

All the best,
Nonoise

How about the available foam grill cover colors?
What color did you order d2girls?
