Blast from the past...and JBL 4429

I've been living with the 4429's for several years now. I can tell you that they are better built then the classic L series. One inch thick cabinets that are superbly finished. 74 pounds each cabinet. Kind of a bitch to move around. Get you a good D to A converter because the 4429's can definitely sort out the differences. I think they will become a classic in 30 years.

Yes, I suspect the same. Shame I have no way of listening to them but if the bottom end is typical JBL then I'm sure they are for me.

I'm chasing a discounted pair here in the UK but just waiting to make final decision. I have a pair if 120ti here and they are great fun too (and don't owe me big money)

I was just checking the 4425 spec and noticed they are 'only' 91dB so the 4429 at 90dB are essentially the same. I'd always assumed the 4425 was a bit more efficient.

Also, I noticed the JBL spec online states the crossover frequencies in two places 800Hz, 7kHz (which must be correct ) and then in second column 2kHz, 5kHz (obviously incorrect).
Is that an error - sloppy?

800Hz, 7kHz is correct.
