RaoulJuke Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Anyone own these and have an opinion on them? If so, what would be a good suggestion for a Amp match for them. The room they are being considered in is pretty large. approximately 50m2. Roof and walls are plastered with 2.4m2 roof & solid concrete flooring. I am not expecting ultimate listening experience this - just after a system that is good bang for buck in that room that is still loud enough to fill the room nicely Very good looking speakers IMO & JBL's vintage speakers have a very good reputation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelossus Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 That's a really large room for tiny speaker. Also the 4312M is not a vintage speaker but a modern JBL offering. Since you're in Brisbane I could sell you a pair JBL L80Ts which will be less expensive than the 4312M, are vintage and will be more comfortable in a room that size.

Thanks Kelossus - I was a bit worried 4312M would be too small. The Issue i have is that the space where the speakers would live is limited,, so was thinking a bookshelf style would suit better as could live above the TT & Amp. The L80T's look to be a large speaker. A quick google and they appear to be a decent "bang for buck" speaker - see a lot of comments from people suggesting a T3 crossover mod improves the sound. They look very large though - do you know roughly the dimensions. Also what would a pair cost me? Pic is of the space i plan for the stereo to live. Plan was TT & amp on the left & right on the pictured buffet - with speakers sitting on the window shelf behind it. I guess i can have it set up that I can pull them down to sit in front when using at loud volume? Bit of a tricky one. I already have a premium, detailed sound system upstairs so this set up was more "party fun" space. Just after a good vintage sound that screams fun that wont break the budget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaoulJuke Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share Posted April 2, 2021 I guess another idea i could have here is have both. The smaller JBL 4312Ms that live behind it + the larger L80T's that i hook up when i want a bit more boom and placed wide, in front of the cabinet.
