High efficiency, extended dynamic range, rock solid imaging, 100*100 dispersion pattern, The ability to reproduce sq. waves. Very high quality drivers.

Lacking in the very deep bass, 35hz and below.

With millions of dollars on the line a recording studio will choose the best product to represent the artist’s abilities.
The 4430’s was used in this application. If you desire accuracy and a presentation that far exceeds the over hyped High end speaker.. Give them a try. They are available on ebay for between 700 –1500 depending on the condition .
These speaker play music with passion and W/O the horn distortion of the past In my opinion the L300 don’t even compare.

L300, Nelson Reeds, etc,etc

Incredible dynamics and sound immersion.

So addicting you may go deaf.

First off, these are not the same horn speakers
audiophiles have loved to hate !!!

While these speakers have a few rough edges--I found
myself reinforcing the box and adding floorspikes--they
are the most exciting, fun speakers I have ever
experienced. A lot of people seem proud of the fact
that their speakers have high-impact, punchy bass--the
fact is the "tweeters", not just the woofers on the
4430s have "impact"!

Though fairly expensive, costing about $3000/pair new,
these are not overpriced, snooty audiophile speakers with wimpy soft domes. These speakers come with professional
15" drivers and musical-sounding Keele-designed biradial
horns. You actually get what you paid for, a rugged,
professional, heavy-duty transducer complement.

My monitors are used, about 10 years old - I bought
them for $900/pair including shipping on EBAY. If I had
to buy them new, I would probably get the 4425 monitors instead, or even perhaps the new JBL LSR monitors. This
is because the 4430s are really overkill for a home
setting. They are really intended for LARGE studios.

Oh, they play kick-ass loud too. For home theater they
are incredible. As a matter of fact, the same horn
(perhaps not with the same compression driver) employed
on the 4430s was used in a system designed for 30-40
row theaters. Check out www.jbl-pro.com
