You can find them from time to time for well under $1K.

One more HUGE plus about the 4311, is that they were DESIGNED for close-field listening and placed being close to walls - because those are the normal conditions in a recording studio. Typically you have the speakers just a few feet away from the ears of the mixing engineer and the speakers themselves are often sitting on/near the console or suspended in air with some brackets.

Until I got "fancier" speakers with stands and all, my JBLs were almost always placed at a room boundary, near a wall (even inside a cabinet) and they sounded great to my unsophisticated ears. Sometimes I miss those simpler times - especially when I am crawling on the floor with a tape measure to make sure that my Sonus Fabers are aligned within a 1/8" and properly toed in. Progress? I am not so sure.

I couldn't agree more Alberto....

Sometimes I just want to move home to my cabin, set a Fisher reciever on the floor, hook up a Dual TT, some JBL's, stack 5 records on the spindle and let em rip...

Pete.......I guess last night wasn't enough. I had the JBL's cranked up again today, and marveling at how good they sound. The 4312A's are serious performers. I need to get busy with the plans you provided me, and build some angled stands. The stands I use now do not angle the speaker back, only raise it about 4 inches. These speakers work their best on the floor when angled.

:yes:

Alberto.......That is exactly the point where I drifted, too. :D

I owned a pair of 4312, which is the same as the 4311 turned upside down, and similar to the L100. They seemed to have good midrange detail but a light weight bass and soft treble to me.
I like the Dynaco A25 XL, 2 way 10" speaker better from memory of the 4312s, though I've not compared them side by side . They are designed and made in Denmark by SEAS for Dynaco and sound superb to me w/ both modern and vintage electronics.
