Thank you.

Honestly, rare and appreciated regarding sacrifice to purchase these speakers. Most in this audio hobby are in the same boat. We work up through the years upgrading as we go and some eventually can get those end game speakers some day. I had never seen these JBL speakers before, I had no idea they made these top level speakers. They look great, congratulations. Look forward to seeing and hopefully hearing them in future videos.

Those are some kick ass JBLs there! Always loved that sound! Bit beyond my means though. I have an old set of the L80ts late '80s home version of the 4410 monitors on a decent Chinese tube amp of 50 watts x 2 and the matching tube CDP. Not the best, but pretty darned good for a budget boy, lol. What you have there are certainly End Game speakers! Enjoy!

Congrats Clint. Enjoy them .

Nice. Congratulations on the JBLs. I would love to have them. All I can afford are the Klipsch Forte IV, but I keep flip flopping between that and the Martin Logan 60XTi. But NOTHING expresses soul as great as horn speakers, despite the horn short comings.

Great setup 👍👍

Yea, they're very adjustable for the system. Nice and durable too. The casters I have are the heavy duty ones, because of the massive weight on my rack. The saturn wheels weren't enough support. They say it'll hold 2000 lbs now. My floor won't, but the rack will. :D

I would be interested in a more detailed comparison between these and the Revel Studio 2. I currently own the Revel 228be (with subs) and have been thinking about buying a pair of JBL 4367s. So not the same but your subjective comparison would be interesting.

Nice setup. I've not heard those speakers, but they sure are beautiful.

A suggestion. You could consider a plinth at the bottom of your cabinet to cover the wheels, or individual covers for each wheel. Could be stained timber, or black. I made up all my own cabinetry at home, it’s part of my trade. If you like the wheel look then no problem.

Are those mids a hornloaded speaker or a hornloaded desighn ? I would go Tube amp on those bad boys geez i bet they sound amazing (Battery acts like a power supply boost in an odd way ) Keeping dynamics/Attack on insane level !!

@Clint_the_Audio-Photo_Guy

2 жыл бұрын

The Mid is actually the tweeter. It's a 4" compression driver mounted to a horn. The little driver on top is a super-tweeter that starts at 15Khz and up. A tube amp probably does sound good on them. They're surprisingly efficient and pretty loud at only 12 watts.

But yeah JBL is a Powerhouse ! on a side note i know your speakers are heavy but just for fun i would pull the speakers atleast 1.5ft to 2 ft away from back wall i bet the depth of the sound would be so much deeper but i know their heavy thanks for the reply awesome setup ! Enjoy !!!

The last Greg Timbers epic creation, (!) Wonderful set up. Do you turn it up?

I love this speakers ! I heard them at the Munich HighEnd 2022. Congratulations for the set up ! For the 1st reflections is the tv not the best idea. But anyway, life is always a compromise…

Very awesome I have on order McIntosh c1100 and mc901s, for my one day endgame everest 67000s for now ill have to make due with my 4637’s

the two open ways on both speakers back do loose a lot of sound normally one puts the speakers on a closed corner of the room, but it must sound good with that equipment

I just took a tape measure to them, and they're 29" from the wall to the front baffle. Not exactly against the wall. That is somewhat of a misnomer though too. I hear it all the time, as if stage depth is 100% controlled by how far you pull your speakers out. It's not. Also, in my room I don't have corners on the front wall, the wall falls away on both sides, so it also doesn't perform like your typical room. If you sat in front of them, you'd know. I'm actually considering pushing them back a few more inches.

Sweet !!

I congratulate you on your new set-up. However, I'm not quite as enthusiastic about the sound quality that the JBL K2 S9900 or the JBL Everest Project DD67000 produces as many others seem to be. To my ears, both these speakers are woefully lacking in the lowest bass extension compared to some of it's even less expense competitors, and, especially within their own lofty price ranges. Granted, the midrange on these speakers sounds absolutely incredible! But, I find that the high frequencies on these two top-of-the-line JBL speakers to be too bright and forward sounding, causing listener fatigue after a less than extended listing period. I also felt the same about the older JBL offering from the 70s and beyond. If space wasn't an issue, I'd much prefer the absolutely incredible and less expensive new Klipsch Heritage Jubilee Horn speakers over these. Happy listening.

House value just increased a good 20 grand, lol. Amazing upgrade right there.

You will never be satisfied, and chasing your tail as regards sound quality. Not until you listen to some large class A / AB mosfet active powered 3 way ATC SCM ASL with extra active bass modules if needed. They will blow your passive system into the weeds, with natural detail of resolution, with dynamics. More Power for passive does not Always = louder. Its about attaining drive unit control. With more power for passive loudspeakers comes penalties with other sound deficiencies, as well as loudspeakers passive crossover components degrading the sound further. If you are are still using that poor quality marantz cd player, you will never hear the most detailed natural sound with resolution either.
