045Be - Super Tweeter

[norealtalent]

I don't know about the tweeters but I've got a buddy who claims to have managed coralling me a brand new pair of 435Be's. I'll introduce him next time you come up. Maybe he can help you out...

Share, Mr. Talent, share; there's a good fellow!

I have consistently told him,"I'll believe it when I see them." He says UPS Wednesday. In the mean time, anyone can purchase them through here:

NRT-

Oh yeah? Well, a TAD is better any day of the week.
You should have saved yourself some dough and bought a pair of 4001 CDs and bolted them straight into a 2397/8 without using a silly (additional) 1.5-2" adapter.

And at the extreme UHF extensions- the 045Be is only good for dolphin trainers. I was just curious...

I wouldn't believe the guy about the whole UPS thing. Did he give you a tracking number?

Actually that isn't true.

And JBL is fully aware of TAD products.

Hi Giskard,
I wish we knew each other better- it was a joke.
I fully agree with you.
NRT knows I'm kidding- we've had long discussions about it.
I'd take the 435Be over a TAD 4001 for the lower extension and overall rarity/cool factor. Though I've yet to hear the TAD 4001 so perhaps it's foolish to say.
So while we are on the subject (sort of)- were you impressed with the 435Be and/or the 045Be? No need for a review- I'd just like to know what your overall opinion is. Thank you!

Impossible!

Dude delivered them to me personally!!! Who needs a tracking #?

[hapy._.face]

Now that's a couple of happy faces!

[Steve Gonzales]

Never say never!. What's that big tater' masher sittin' on top o' the Lakes'?

TWO COOL CATS

Thanks, but the URL for this must have been changed, the link is not working. For those who don't already have this, a link to JBL Home Audio in Japan:

http://www.harman-japan.co.jp/produc...ome/index.html

Notice in the column on the left the links for the 435Be and the UT-045Be, among a few others of possible interest... The 435 and 045 included here:

http://www.harman-japan.co.jp/produc...ome/435be.html

http://www.harman-japan.co.jp/produc...e/ut045be.html

There are many things of interest on the main page, below is one of lesser significance but perhaps a little controversial, JBL speaker cable:

I couldn't find these on the JBL Pro USA website. For those missing the blue baffle JBL Studio Monitors, check this out:

Finally, the Harman International Japan web page has a few surprises of it's own:

Overall, I say... Wow! ... sigh

I find it interesting that some of those monitors are not available in the US.

4428 is $2012.00 usd each

4348 is a bit over $6000.00 ea.

That LS Series was at CES but not playing. GT doesn't really know why they aren't available here. Not his dept.

Yep, from what I've read I thought the classic blue-baffled monitors were a thing of the past. Great to see them of course. A great line up of products, including the speaker stands, I regret that the US market doesn't warrant all of them being sold here, no judgement on JBL.

How about the Harman International page, where you can find Halcro, SME, AKG, and two high-end cable companies in the list with JBL, Mark Levinson, and Revel. Does Harman own all of these, or is just the importer for Japan?
