JBL 4309

Just heard of this speaker earlier this evening but can't seem to find any info on future availability in India.
Apparently launched just a few days ago, I'm very interested to know more.

I think I heard a larger version of this in japan 2 years back ( forgot that model number) was driven by luxman SS electronics and to me that setup felt very unlike the older JBLs but still good.

The newly launched L100 jubilee which was side by side was tinny in comparison ( source was digital/PC based and not sure of the details)
The standout was the 4367..was really impressed by that.
Also heard the S4700..that was like a proper audiophile speaker, great imaging and all that but I preferred the 4367

Interesting arj! Must look those up.
I think you may have heard the larger 4349.

I agree about the new JBL sound being very different from the old vintage JBL models. Some years ago I heard the huge Everest models at Lakozy in Mumbai and came away a little unimpressed wondering what the fuss was all about.
