JBL Synthesis 4367 - oh mama...

[Vladimir]

I'm horny for these. (pun intended) Measurements for the fellow nerds.

And some classical for the tape lovers.

 

[Gazzip]

Ding dong!

 

[Vladimir]

Ding dong!

Is that you Santa? Will you be able to fit the 4367s through the chimney mate?

Sorry to disappoint but slay trajectory desktop analysis suggests that Rudolph and the guys ain’t getting these bad boys airborne. I guess I’ll just have to keep ‘em.

15" drivers going up to 500 Hz before rolling off and the best part is the impedance at 50Hz 40 Ohm!!! just imagine what amp you realistically need to control them.

Yes it's me, no worries Vlad I will shove it down in parts...you'll put them together by Xmas tree...don't forget to clean the soot by the way...

These are essentially the passive version of the M2 studio monitors, which are proprietary actives, no passive crossover is made for them by JBL. And they put them in the old school monkey coffins with walnut and blue fronts. It just.... hits every orgasmic nerve spot in my eyes.

I want to play Krystian Zimerman - Schubert: Piano Sonatas D 959 & 960 on them right now. Damn you Santa!

 

[Vladimir]

I don't think Rudolph can pull on these.

 

[insider9]

Come on Vlad. I won't be able to sleep from excitement.

JBL, PMC, Mark Levinson... Who made this pic and where are they I want to visit?

It's just porn from the internet, don't stalk people for audition. They may call the police, I should know.

BTW check this out in the White Paper. There's DC Bias across the crossovers.

The networks also employ DC voltage bias to operate the capacitors effectively in a Class A mode. DC Bias for the 4367 Studio Monitor is accomplished using a diode charging circuit internal to the crossover network and driven by the applied signal, so no additional external power is needed for this feature. The biasing of the capacitors is done through a diode that creates DC voltage from the input signal, and a large value resistor to isolate the diode from the input and limit the current drawn. This keeps the charging circuitry from affecting the audio signal in any way.

Each capacitor position is actually made up of two capacitors connected in series. The voltage generated from the resistor and diode combination is applied to the center connection of the two capacitors. This produces a voltage potential between the two plates within the capacitor. When the two parts are taken as a whole, there is no DC voltage that appears across them, but individually they are each biased. The sonic result of the biasing yields an increase in detail, increased smoothness and considerably more natural decay of sounds within the music.

The terminal cup carries two red and two black 5-way gold-plated binding posts for input to each of the crossover boards. The 4367 is shipped with large effective gauge jumper wires; one between the two red terminals and one between the two black terminals. In this configuration, the 4367 can be driven by a single amplifier channel. However, should it be desired, these jumpers can be removed and wires can be run to each input from a single amplifier channel (biwire operation) or wires can be run to each from two separate amplifier channels (bi-amp operation) can be employed. Since each crossover carries its own capacitor DC bias circuitry, use of the 4367 in either bi-wire or bi-amp operation modes does not defeat the capacitor DC bias feature. The bi-amp and bi-wire operations work with the applied amplifier(s) powering the drivers through the crossover boards.

That's awesome. I like any speaker that has this in specs

Maximum recommended amplifier power: 300 watts

The good ones start with 200W

From another forum: "Anyway I wanted to hear these JBL's because of my experience with JBL's LSR308's, great holographic/3D imaging, and dynamics. The 4367's did not disappoint my favorite song I heard there on them was Stevie Ray Vaughn's Roughest Place In Town. Somebody at the show said the dynamics would rip your face off.

Wanting to hear more under better than show conditions, I went to Indy about two weeks later. Listening for about 2-3 hours, I felt they imaged similar in many respects as well as my Magnepan 3.6's with ribbon tweeter.

Incredible dynamics, bass/midbass with impact, no compression on loud peaks and no fear of blowing a fuse at high volume, are all things the Magnepan's fall short of."

I want my face to be taken off by SRV dynamics.

I've looked into these about 2 years ago

What's the price?
And if they are really expensive, what's a cheaper alternative?

 

[insider9]

Love Stevie Ray Vaughan. Tin Pan Alley is one of my test tracks. Size of sound stage and the way he caresses the guitar are just great.

Not sure if you're aware but this song was recorded in one take *shok*

$15,000 per pair, which is probably £15,000 in the UK.

at £6,000.

I'm not surprised. He was a beast!

The 4429 can sure sing.

I just love St. James Infirmary, even though it's about STDs.

 

[davedotco]

Just another 'bin and horn' speaker system.

Actually derived from these, the first purpose built studio monitor.

Just another 'bin and horn' speaker system.

It's like Rocco Siffredi talking about sex to teenagers. You're too desensitized about these things.

The 15 inch bass and compression driver system go back to the origins of music reproduction in the 1930s.

The only real thing that has changed is the size of the bass enclosure.

One of the more modest sized designs, an Altec A7 system, often used as studio monitors in the lare 50s, early 60s.

 

[Vladimir]

You should checkout the prrices on those these days.

 

[Vladimir]

These monstrosities are quite affordable. 3000 for a pair brand new. They sell for half that price second hand. Seen them going for 1200 euros. The drivers alone are worth more.

Thanks
These are more affordable and I'd like to test them
