JBL S4700 unpacking and first notes

Incredible how these "monsters" could sound piwerfull and and delicate. Evan very low level they keep perfect accuracy and detail. Amazing! 😍

Nightclub Jumbo. Impressive! How do they sound with clubbing music to Opera?

Should look into 3-way Active Digital Crossover, either starting with Nanodigi or better still DEQX. You will get far better bass energy and control Clearer and more transparent highs. Totally transformed performance. You also get an opportunity to deploy super high bandwidth HF monobkock amps with 1Mhz bandwidth like the Goldmund Job4 to ensure the most transparent highs with superb imaging. This is how i drive my JBL Project K2 and JBL M2 systems. Oh, BTW, quick way to get much smoother highs is to remove that pesky dust cap from the compression driver. 🎶😊👍

LOL .. bullshit!

[@JamesWilliams-gf8gm]

Sound Somali has a video comparing them. I did not like the Cornwall in person. I felt like I could hear the cone material and a touch bright. I want to hear and maybe buy the JBL 4367. Based on the measurement they are more inline with my taste. Downward slope from 80hz to 18k of 5db ish. But hard to say. These are hard to demo in the US midwest.

[@jstoli996c4s]

The JBL’s will sound amazing once the compression drivers are fully broken in, which takes some time, probably 100-200 hours depending on how much power you feed them. Once broken in, they will absolutely sing! (HDI 3800 owner)

[@JamesWilliams-gf8gm]

@@jstoli996c4s well I bought a pair of JBL 4367 lol. I am listening to them right now and they are amazing. Next level kind of sound.

[@Bigirondoug]

Those Pass Labs are the best, they pair well with the JBL's

loai JBL đẹp đấy . Giá bao nhiêu tiền về đến Viet Nam

need 1000 hrs burn in

[@thomasc1753]

Burn in is a mythm Science has disproven it. Look up the Audioholics article on this.

[@jessestone785]

I actually don’t get it. It’s a small room, there are at least two other full size floor-standing systems within arms reach of the S4700s which undeniably interact with the S4700s, and the audio is severely limited by the KZbin reproduction/broadcast limitations yet you think listeners at either location can actually appreciate the sound of the S4700s!?!? Where is your thinking hat??

If you take a good set of headphones on you can hear Them. Moron....

[@jaw3410]

these vs Klipsch Cornwalls? anyone?

[@jstoli996c4s]

Depends on what your ears prefer. Cornwalls will be much more forward in the highs and mids. Very live sounding, very in your face. JBL’s will be more balanced and detailed while still being on the forward side of the spectrum. Both require a good break in period to sound their best, particularly the compression drivers.

[@JamesWilliams-gf8gm]

I demoed the Cornwall Iv a few times and they always wore out my ears. Maybe the most tired my ears have ever been after a listening session. I bought a pair of JBL 4367s last week and have no ear fatigue with them. They just seam better top to bottom than the Cornwall. The Cornwall seems to change sound stage width with frequency and the JBL is stale the whole time. The quality of the highs is so much better than box speakers. I will say box speaker shimmer and these JBLs delineate ever note of the high hat. The JBL seems to have less oddities in the sound compartment to Klispch and just gets on with it. The 4367 is the best speaker I have ever heard, there I “said” out loud. Amazing stuff and super speaker territory.

[@jstoli996c4s]

@@JamesWilliams-gf8gm congrats on the 4367s. Give them a good 100-200 hours of break-in, and those compression drivers will really come to life. That’s been my experience with the HDI 3800’s, they sounded flat and lifeless on the top end until broken in. I still wish they had more airiness and sparkle in the highs, but they’re still really good speakers 🔊🔊🔊

[@JamesWilliams-gf8gm]

@@jstoli996c4s thanks! interesting you don’t get air on your highs but I doubt it is compression drives in concept. I also have a Revel 228be and in direct comparison the Revels are pretty far behind the JBls in detail retrieval. I am not one to knit pick highs though. I want transparent mids and hard hitting bass. I am highpassing to the 4367 at 40hz from two JL subs.

[@jstoli996c4s]

@@JamesWilliams-gf8gm I’m getting plenty of clarity and detail at all frequencies, but not airiness in the highs to my ears. My 3800’s produce excellent midrange and bass too.

What I not understand that after listening to this speakers you comme back to nonsense bass less speaker HIFi … come on…
