How does the JBL 4312 floorstanding speaker sound?
Aria Murphy How does the JBL 4312 floorstanding speaker sound?
The 320s sound incredible, the 4312s sound even more incredible, put both pair together with my Soundcraftsman amp/preamp and a good CD player and the purity of the sound is noticeable over any other speaker you will find. The key is the bass reflex sound holes.

How many Watts Does a JBL control monitor need?
You MUST have CLEAN old school solid-state rated at least 100watts TRUE RMS preferrably with a high slew rate, and low THD, or at least 30 watts of tube amplification (pay attention to the load {OHM} rating on a tube amp as some may not like 4 or even 8 ohm loads, and never power up a tube amp without the recommended load connected.)
How much did the Snell a 4312 speakers cost?
I owned the Snell A’s for years and they cost $2700 new in the late 70’s and I sold them last year in near mint for $400. The 4312’s did not cost near $2700 (with inflation in 8 years considering the era about $5900 in ’85 dollars, ) in the Mid-80’s when I bought them.
What kind of speakers do I use on my JBL 4312a?
I also use an SAE 4200 speaker swicthing system to go between the 4312s, the (repaired) NS-10s and a pair of the crappiest 6X9 POS speakers I coud find at the junkyard with beer flats as baffles. This helps me with mastering as nobody out there really has the same ears or systems or listening environment.
