Dear Kenji and The Kenrick Sound Team,
First of all, I want to thank you for doing a wonderful job on my 4345. They look and sound great.
Some background about myself, I first came to learn about Japan's craze over JBL 43 series studio monitors through the Stereo Sound magazine. I was always amazed by the pictures of large JBL studio monitors in small rooms, wondering how do they sound. Finally in 2004, I managed to get a pair of 4333A and experienced the magic of JBL 43 series studio monitors.
The rest as they say, is history. Over the years, I have owned 4343B, 4430, and finally the ultimate 4350A in 2010. It was my dream to own a double woofer JBL monitor. The sense of scale, attack, speed, details is without equal and effortless.
However, the 4350A tweeter and horn position is too low and i faced placement issue and could not realize the full potential of the speakers I know is capable of. Finally with much reluctance, I sold it to a friend in feb 2012. So I am without JBL once again.
Until now... With your help, I am able to own a pristine condition 4345! First impression is that it goes low, not quite as forward sounding as the 4343B, and able to recreate the full size of musicians in my living room, in other words, I love it. I do not miss my 4350A anymore. Next project would be to bi amp the 4345 perhaps?
Once again, thanks for keeping the legacy of JBL 43 series Studio Monitors alive.
With regards,
David Ng CC
