Ivan....I actually need several more rooms for the additional rigs I'd like to put together. A pair of McIntosh XRT18's also strike my fancy! :sigh:

Some complained about brightness, but I found them just perfect. Rumor has it that they sounded so right on so many recordings because so many recordings were mastered on them. I don't know this as a fact, but they were a pretty common fixture in recording studios in the 70s and early 80s.

Alberto...I too owned the 4311's and wish I still had them:thumbsup::music: other JBL's owned were the L36's and L100's but the 4311's were my favs:yes:

Dave

Does anyone know what a nice pair of 4311's would be worth.

Any love for the 4430?

This JBL thread motivated me to get out my bottle of Howard Feed N Wax, and wipe down my JBL 4312A speakers last night. Mine have the walnut veneer, in excellent condition, but were really looking dry. After about 30 minutes on each speaker, rubbing Howard Feed N Wax into the walnut and letting it soak in, then buffing the speakers with a soft clean cloth, the 4312A's look brand new. Of course I couldn't have the JBL's looking so good without turning on the MA5100 and playing some CD's. Man, oh man the JBL 4312A's sound great. No wonder JBL sold so many, and they were used professionally by so many studios. These JBL's can rock. I am glad I have kept them all these years.

If you haven't tried Howard Feed N Wax, you owe it to yourself to buy a bottle of this stuff. It is excellent. Home Depot sells it, and so does Amazon. It will totally restore oiled veneers like brand new. My JBL 4312A's are looking beautiful.

Dan,

I use, and highly recommend, the exact same stuff on my JBL 4301b's.
