JBL 4312 Control Monitors

I first saw a pair of JBL 4312's at the WVXU studio in Cincinnati.  It was the "old" WVXU, a small old-school studio on the campus of Xavier University. 

All the reviews I've read seem to basically converge on what I remember of how they sounded: not a ton of bass, and not a ton of clarity in the highs, but overall a balanced and "realistic" sound.

I would love to pick up a pair of these and get a decent tube amp to go with it.  I wish I still had the Fisher 500C.  Part of the problem with that amp, among a number of things, was that I didn't have a good pair of speakers to use with it.

Every once in a while these things show up on craigslist, or for a good deal on eBay.  Keep your eye out for old gems like these.

Own a pair of 4312's, or any other cool piece of gear?  Contact us at audiomusictech@gmail.com!
