Do they come in left/right pairs?

Do they come in left/right pairs?

Given the layout, they'd have to, I would think.

 

[RayDunzl]

Sometimes I see pairs that make me go WTF. These, no, I suppose.

I'm not sure I'd be a fan of the horizontal mid-tweeter layout, though. Seems wrong.

Same here ... Interested though in the 4429 ..
JBL needs to put some order in their lineup. They're all over the place.. Recently "discovered" there was a 4306 monitor ... Don't know if it is from the Pro, Synthesis or just JBL lines

 

[RayDunzl]

Oh boy... JBL 4722N via Amazon now...

What's the difference between 4722N and 4722?

 

[FrantzM]

Is the Amazon price for the pair?

Might make more sense in a studio with it laying on its side on the monitor bridge, which would give the tweeter and mid a vertical arrangement.

I thought the 4306 was a Japan only model.

"Available for Bi-amplified operation (model 4722) or fully passive operation (model 4722N)"

I would say they are priced "each".

It may be a Japanese model, but in these days of modern times it's only a click away...

I think I can get by with my 4319's...

Are you kidding me?

Those things suck. You should sell them.

To help you move on to something better, I'd be willing to take them off your hands as an act of charity.

Yeah, they sound like utter crap. Feckin' junk.

 

[Dynamix]

Dawww... Cuteness overload!

What is that big wooden thing behind the 4319s?

What is that big wooden thing behind the 4319s?

An old JBL thing. The model name escapes me at the moment.
