LEGENDARY JBL 4430 STUDIO MONITOR SPEAKERS PAIR
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:51255799 | Brand: JBL |
There will be NO shipping by me. You make all the arrangements.
Great functioning pair of JBL 4430 studio monitors, ubiquitous in the 70s, 80s, 90s and beyond in major recording studios, assembly halls, radio stations and ad agencies, to name a few, around the world.
These were purchased directly from a recording studio in South Florida where they were sofitt (in the wall) mounted. When they removed them from the soffit, they lightly scuffed them up and I cleaned them up.... If I were to grade them, I'd give them an 8 out of 10.
These have been my main and secondary speakers in a no smoke and no pet household.
I have done two things to these -
First, I put in new foam surrounds two years ago. I bought the surrounds from the recognized leader in having the best JBL surrounds on the planet. (He is endorsed by former JBL employees.) They perform as designed.
Secondly, the designer at JBL, Greg Timbers, suggested an improvement. Remove the bi-amp switch and jumper the connections, which I did internally. This accomplished avoiding a switch that gets dirty and degrades the sound over time and still preserves the ability to bi-amp.
I HATE to send these along, but we are getting a smaller place - life goes on.
You will have to make ALL arrangements needed to get these to you. I'm an old guy and I won't be packing these, etc. I WILL, however, meet you up to within 150 miles of Tallahassee, Florida.
I'm easy, make me an offer.
