JBL monitors were designed so electrical technicians in studios could replace parts and make repairs on site. No guarantee that original JBL capacitors, wiring, etc were used for the repairs. Those speakers were also built for a price point. That Kendrick takes it above and beyond to be all it can be is nice.

This channel (Kenrick sound), when I was very young and didn't know anything about audio hi-fi or HiFi, opened my mind to a whole new world and I am very grateful for it.❤

Wir hatten in unserem Studio in den 70er Jahren eine JBL4350 und die war für mich immer der Platzhirsch.<br>Privat hatte ich eine 4312 und war mir der auch zufrieden.

I bought a pair of 4343s in 1979, and perhaps the sound quality has changed a little for the worse, but so has my ears, so I am perfectly satisfied with how they perform... The only thing that has needed upgrading over the years are the foam surroundings on the 15's and the 10's, done by the JBL representatives in Sweden in 1997... One funny thing: when I bought them the dealers cash register wasn't up to date, so they had to give me three receipts...
