Well Ken. I red your thoughts. I have been listening to JBL, small ones and big ones ever since the mid 70s, when I also purchased my first Decca London Blue audio cartridge, that I still own and uses from time to time. I have had real high end stuff, but at the present day I am using JBL OlympusS8 system, that I bought some 20-25 years ago.When I listen to opera records,(living stereo,Decca phase4 etc...), I feel that the 375 gives everything, sounds very good on human voice, but again I have been listening to JBL almost all my entire stereo life.My reference speaker have, for many years, been, the Hartsfield, but I have not been able to buy because of high price. Maybe someday I will be able to buy the Hartsfields. Well I suppose I am a devoted JBL fan. They sound so good, no listening fatigue or anything , just sounding good. JBL and tube amps, such as 300B for the 375 is a top match. Sounds exelent. The only thing that probably sounds better than my Olympus is horns. Good luck building.
E V Patricians-- JBL Hartsfields- Your choice
In the mid 50's I heard both systems. The Patrician was full sounding and euphonic. The Hartsfield was punchy and bright- seemed to lack bass. Both were K horn designs but I opted for the Patricians.
I used them until I heard a QLS about 25 years ago. Now I listen to a home brew line source that is satisfying.
I guess anyone that has either of the above mentioned speakers probably can't hear above 10K HZ but what the heck.
I just bought a JBL 375 driver, six JBL LE 15 A woofers and as pair of 075 tweeters.
It's time to build an experimental speaker!
If you are listening to a JBL system that uses the afore mentioned drivers, I'd like your thoughts.
