Ivan, these "artists" really do some killer work, don't they?

Viewed many vids, and have gone to their site countless times, truly drooling audio.

Some of the one offs, with Wood Lenses, the famous 077/2405 Super Tweeters, etc are just mind boggling, and also quite huge, even dwarfing these that you link to.

In one vid, seen a pair of 4430's like I have, and sitting up on some perfectly designed custom stands, looking like something JBL would've made, I would really like having a pair of those Stands! Maybe one day?

PS: At first when viewing this vid, I thought to myself "Jesus, these guys are two world class weightlifters, making the lift look so easy", then I saw the pretty cool Cradle under the Speaker that they used.

If I am permitted to comment.

These large 43XX JBL's do need a bit larger space than what we see in that Kenrick video, it also depends on the type of music played but generally to take advantage of their firepower a larger space allows them to sing, particularly 4345 and 4350/4355 models.

I have a DIY version of the same in a much larger enclosure and in vertical arrangement (tried to post a pic but I am not allowed to do post attachment).

Agreed, that's a very small space for those Beasts!

Classic speakers! Yeah, I'd like to hear those in that small room.

Has anyone here ever dealt with, and/or communicated with Kenrick Sound>

In the vid here, these are the particular 4430 Stands I was referring to. They look so "factory", don't they? These I think would be truly sweet to get the 4430 up a bit off the floor.

I tried some time back to email them about such, but never got a reply. Not sure if it got there, or if translation was an issue?

I talked to Kenji many moons ago. He was more or less pretty communicative. I wanted a pair of one of those vintage JBLs at the time and stumbled across their site. I then changed my mind and went for a pair of new Synthesis models, and the rest is history. I believe he sells the new or newer JBL speakers too.
