JBL 4367 = Sleep Denervation


I am having a real problem created by the JBL 4367… I can’t stop listening to them. I have been up late (2:00am-3:00am) every night this week and can’t seem to turn them off. I found an extremely good deal on a new pair and bought these blind. They might not even be broken in yet and honestly I am completely blown away. Had/have what I would consider a very good system but nothing too crazy (Revel/Mcintosh/JL, pictures in my profile) and this is a big step change improvement.

 

The texture in the bass is much better than my JL E112 subs. Enough so that I have lowered the hi-pass frequency to 40hz. The highs are the most delineated I have heard. Where other good speakers shimmer, on the 4367 you hear the actual ride and subtle move of the high hat. I have never heard anything like it. The mids are clear like the Revels but seem to bring a sense of power. Everything just has a real feel to it with amazing texture and tone. There is texture in the bass I have only ever heard on headphones or large super speakers. The soundstage is big and stable, actually extremely stable. I hear no box or driver resonances of any kind.

 

Best of all even standard recording music sounds good. Old grunge, metal , 60s classics, 80s pop is good, modern computer-generated music, it all sounds good. Average recordings have dynamics that did not seem to be there before and audiophile music just explodes out of the speaker. While audio memory is short and it is impossible to know I would go as far to say this is the best speaker I have heard for my tastes in sound. I am struggling to come up with anything I dislike in the sound (now we could talk about the looks lol, and why is it so short?!?)

 

This is best system change I have ever made. If you have been curious about this speaker don’t wait and give it a try. If you are looking at more expensive speakers maybe give the JBL 4367 a try first and “save” some money.

I'm not sure how the word denervation applies here, but from what you describe, all that I can say is: Welcome to the world of well-designed horns! 

For my taste they sound more real than anything else

Congratulations! I love JBL’s and often wonder why people spend more than $20K (cost of the JBL M2 active version, including the amps and crossovers). Their motto is Hear the Truth and that pretty much sums it up. I found my JBL stand mounts really opened up when I biamped them FWIW, have fun!

Roxy54,

Lol, Shows how little sleep I have gotten! As a long-term member it should be clear typing on my phone is not my best skill.
 

Thanks I have heard other similar types of  horns that did not impress me much but these JBLs are better than I could have imagined.
