rebuilding them wasn't as much much fun as listening. These JBL are certainly in the class of their own. Big open dynamic sound and any SPL. Yet they were able to do finesse of the classical music just as good.
Live and learn. They sounded magnificent.



I will. Pics were posted then PE had 96kbt limit for jpg. Thanks for the comment also.

My bad I was referring to the previous post, that ENORMOUS pic of the Speedsters

I am jealous I wish I could hear a pair of those let alone rebuild them.

Forgive my ignorance, but what are they? I assume you're talking about the things that look like wall panels full of paper woofers... Any place I can read up on them?

I thought these were already on this thread, but I don't see them. They definitely deserve a spot here IMO, and they are a DIY build. Well partly outsourced anyway.

They are an all Accuton build right down to the PR's, and actively XO'd by DSP's. Skip to about 1:20 if you want to skip him showing off all his equipment:

JBL 4350.
You can look for info on Altec or JBL forums but this speaker is not easy to find and very expensive.

Kenrick Sound sells them restored from time to time, prepare to let your wallet take a beating or two
