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 :confused:

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.

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. :D
