audition__audio...You are not a horn guy and that is fine and I respect your analysis above.   However, you say that horn people get all bent out of shape when horns are criticized and that may be true.  In this case, the Op was asking specifically about two different horn speakers.  He was not asking if anyone had any concerns about the sound characteristics of a horn speaker versus a nonhorn speaker which you alluded to early on in this thread.  In this case, the Op has made a decision to go with a horn.   Respectfully....

I wanted to make certain that he had heard this design before buying. His statement about "buy and try" raised some questions. Dont get me wrong I love aspects of horn speaker reproduction, but in the areas which I find most important I think they fall a bit short. I dont like it when another member concludes that I havent heard horns because I dont prefer them to other designs. I also reject the notion that other speaker types arent viable or are intrinsically inferior. 

Ive purchased numerous JBL Speakers that were used in recording studio's and NONE were an "L" Series. The only L I can think of is the L65 from the very early 1970's.

  The studio monitor numbers are like 4312, 4311, 4309, 4410, 4412.   I dont think you have ANY idea what your talking about.

I agree!

I didnt say definitively that it was an L this was just a guess. The 4312 comes to mind if this was the speaker with the midrange and tweeter on the same horizontal plane when upright. Why dont you just say you like JBL speakers and my comment that I thought they sucked got under your skin. But you are right I dont know what I am talking about. Now lets move on to horn speakers and how I dont know anything about them either.
