Scoring JBL 4312A

- In fact they are studio monitors
The rare JBL 4312A is hard to score because many want them but you never see a good pair for sale. Some people are hunting for these speakers for many years without any success. I was lucky and scored a good sounding set. Normal people would never drive 145 km for 32 year old speakers but this audio fanatic did. Sluiskil is a separate village part of the bigger town Terneuzen, in the far end corner of the Netherlands. Many German and Belgium tourists find every year their way to this part of the Netherlands because it's surrounded by the sea. I am very proud to show you this video, the review and test video's are already finished and that will be my next upload next week.....
It's impossible to upload video's on a daily base. If it would only be talking video's I could make 3 a day but for my kind of video's I need the wright microphone setup, and much time in editing. I also don't score enough to upload a video every day. Up till the end of September I will try to upload weekly but the last 3 months of the year I will try to upload 2 video's a week. The only way I can score more audio is when I pay to much for the stuff, did that in the past often but learned my lessons, youtube isn't paying me enough to cover my losses.....With your patience I will score most popular models in the coming years so don't doubt my channel when you see a weaker period in scoring, cleaning and reviewing, please be patience. This is not my job, this is a hobby, I can't spend 24 hours a day to this hobby, I have a live too besides stereo. Hope you can support this....To score something nice needs often hours of internet searching, often without any result, but when I finally score something I will take you with me to my adventures and review it later as honest I can be. Sometimes my honesty upset people but it's just my opinion, never doubt your stereo if you see a negative opinion from me, if you are happy with it the stereo does it works good. I only show you that there are better solutions if you decide one day to upgrade. Also never take my advice in prices for granted. The prices I gave are pure calculated on my hearing experience with that certain product. If you can buy a product for double the price I advised just do not hesitate because you think it's to expensive. It's what you want and desire , you have to live with it, not me. Some persons pay 3/5 times the market value if they want it, even if they know it's way to expensive it will not hold them back to pay to much....
Spoiler alert: the first 19 minutes is the guy driving to the speakers. That's right.
Thanks but that's the bit I enjoy the most, touring around Holland.
I figured as much and jumped ahead. Thank you.
Yeah great 18 minutes😂
My crazy, wealth uncle was about to throw away a pair of these years ago. I still have them.
What a shame!
Are you aware that you bought two left speakers .. for the mirror imaging you need a left and a right.. great speaker though...I have had m mine for a while...when they came in the box they are designated left and right...I bought them 40 years ago...just wanted to make you aware of the fact
I'm getting 4312c tomorrow still in the box!! So excited!! I have 4311b's already. Love JBL!!!
I drove 264 km from Belgium to France for a 180€ Luxman amp, that was a very long way but totally worth it 😉
What model ?
I drove about 200 km from Montreal to Ottawa, just for apairs Tannoy Oxford vintage 1970 and paid $400, the sound still amazing, I love them so much.
Hi Andrew, great score -- these go for $800-900 in good condition in the US -- and about double that in Japan. The sand aggregate spray-on stiffener on the woofers was never starkly white, but these are more yellowed than usual. A light application of 97% isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and a dab with a dry cloth will release and remove the nicotine resin, but they may never be completely white. Hope you enjoy the "west coast" sound, and thanks again for the scoring vid.
Laugh Nicotine Resin!
I just picked up a pair of the 4410's yesterday for $300. Love them.
I bought a set of new in 1978 JBL 4311WX Control Monitors the professional version of the original JBL L100 and had the same size drivers. I still have then and they are still in perfect condition and always sounded incredible on every type of music I play on it in 2,000 parties in 42 years. Always great a real legendary speaker still popular today. The new L100 Classic is better and cost more but worth it.
Mr andro when I see you I feel so happy you fanny person and true person in the same time I respect how you deal how to exeplan everything you are true person I like to see your video every time really
Nice very nice speakers
Good looking speakers. Can't wait to see the sound test in your studio. Very nice road trip. Btw if you want to experience a bumpy ride...visit Canada😉.
Lekker.....made me look where I used to live....Nieuwegein. ;) Dag
Think I paid $150 for mine about 10 years ago. Drove about 60 miles to get them . Both are in excellent shape except the woofer cones were cracked a bit. I remove them from the cabinet and applied a thin layer of glue to both sides. It's not the prettiest but the sound quality seems to be very good
142km to score this beauty,worth it,nice buy !!!
I drove a little over an hour to pick up a mint pioneer Rt 909 reel to reel tape deck for 350. dollars U.S. That was a bargain. They go for over a thousand dollars. He was moving and had to catch a flight. He could not take it with him.
Brilliant video, totally bonkers, love it! 😂🎉❤
Have you had a chance to hear the new 4312SE ? Speakers like shoes wear out and not just the surrounds.
I used to drive further going to work and back each day in Australia,, Good Lord even the Kids rode in the school bus ( Standing Up ) 130km each day lol
Holland is a small country so 2 hour driving is very far for us
I have trained my friends well. I'm in the UK and had a friend in Germany drive to The Netherlands to pick up some Ebay speakers for me AND store them in his man-cave for me until I feel like picking them up one day; maybe in a year, I don't know what to do with them :) I also had a new amp sent straight to him from Ebay, then I don't have all this stuff in my way :)
I love my JBLs I’ve had over 6 different vintage ones and love them all for big ones I have some cs3115 and just last week I got some small ones JBL studio 530. Love them all.
you DO know that there are crews that make holes in the road for the repair crews to find and fix, right?
enjoy your 4312's, as I have since '86
Hahaha....nice to see your video from the nice opa ....👍👍👍👌
It was interesting. Thank you.
Fully restored with new crossover and repaired cones $2000.
Lol...i was a junior in high school...
They cost to much then...im 66 how...and have a few pairs of jbls....i always enjoy the trips you make....nice find...they go for 800 to 1200 depending on conditions...in the USA..
Nice
1990 I was in Amsterdam and in one record shop speakers are placed at ceiling and dj was in centre playing some Cabaret Voltaire lp. It was JBL 4312 black and sound was awesome with plenty oomph due incredible bass driver. But I sticked with NS1000.
Was that the shop on singel, close to nieuwendijk? I forgot the name.
Loved the video..dont know about the speakers lol.
i like this guy very much that he has good orientation about the subject ..good luck
I drive 179 Km for some 60$ Canton CT800s. Well worth it
Great!!
When u love something, u will reach for it.
New subriciber here sir man ! Very good contents very nice person very interesting videos
Just recently sold my marantz ma5 monoblocks for good money but i am very very sad to see then go.
Justin from canada here!
Happy Hardcore Soundtracks , Sold straight away .
I do not know about the woofer but the tweeter as got to be GOOD !
Lucky man
I believe there is only one place in the Netherlands with Péage and you managed to come across XD
Yes, first time for me I had to pay peage here. I think it's normal to pay 5 euro for such a tunnel. I exaggerate a bit in the video.
True and it is only to cover the costs of construction and only till it is al lpayed back by 2030 or so. In France it is Péage all the time and it is pure profit for mafia like organisations!
The local stereo shop had the L100 speakers which would play loud without distorting. Overall they didn't sound good enough to pay the $400 (1972). During that time the speakers were all painted a grey color (not wood grain). I always thought the Marantz 7 speakers had a cleaner more natural sound.
Ik zou er zeker 3 keer zo veel aan gegeven hebben
Why they made only 'right' speakers ?
Great find :)
Beste andrew, zou ik mogen vragen hoe je heet op marktplaats? En zou ik als je een advertentie op mp hebt staan, daar een linkje van mogen? Ik ben benieuwd wat voor audio apparatuur af en toe op marktplaats zet. Groetjes Christiaan

Some women don't appreciate greatness.
i drove 8 hours a couple weeks ago to buy a pair of L100A's. Honestly i was expecting better, i have a set of like new condition JBL L36's that i think sound better. i was planning to sell them after getting the L100's, but i don't think i can do it. I luv how they sound and they just look so beautiful in perfect condition.
I just got a pair at the local thrift store in excellent condition with original boxes for $150 American.
Of all music this guy could have used to test the audio?!
Please open them speakers up 👀
Poor bloke had to sell them because he has all those kids now.
The road upgrade thing is Canadian as well! Our seasons are Fall, Winter, Spring and Road Construction.
Was never a big fan of the 4311/4312. I do like the L112 and the L150A. I had 2 friends back in the 80’s that had the L112’s.
I am a Polk Audio fan. I bought a pair of the Polk Audio SDA1C’s brand new in 1988. Still have them today.
Lucky Lucky Lucky !
hehehehe nice goin with the sound of the racincar sounds and congrats with your jbl pick!!!! you are gonna bee fix-it up and then a Smile that's what they do!!!!
great video 👍🏼👍🏼
Prachtige luid sprekers
One day I will have the JBL 4345...
WD 40 is gonna clean up the woofer very easy. Do not use too much of that. In my country those JBL can be sold for 1600 US $.....
I miss Holland 🇳🇱! 👌✌
Good score on speakers easy re-sell ..everyone whats classic JBLs ...lower end to hi end. If they still are in working condition.PS nice people and country you live in .
I love the way you integrate travel in your videos. Makes them really engaging and entertaining...reminds me of travel shows on TV. Europe looks so clean and beautiful.
How much did he pay? 250Euro? I would drive 1000 km for that :)
Sehr guter Preis/good price for the great JBL 🖖
HARDCORE!!! whoop whoop :D
Nice set well bulit back then
You laid them on their backs for transport... That's a big NO-NO!!! Those JBL's looked mighty good for being almost 35 years old...
The woofers look yellow? Do they smell?
the music in the test is fantastic!
Speakers play at 25:00 ish
theses speakers will go well with your sansui g7000
What kind of amp are you using with theses?
They look like 2x right speakers. 4312A's were mirror imaged, IIRC?
OMG I think you are wright here. Didn't noticed that until now. Already over 4000 viewers and you are the first to notice it.....Not sure if it will make any difference in sound but officially they are mirrored
It shouldn't matter too much. 4311's sold for years and weren't mirror imaged. Won't give you the best stereo image possible and the tweeter on the left will be on the outside which causes some "notching" in the response. (There's a term for it, but I can't think of it right now.) It's unfortunate that whoever took these speakers from the pub, or wherever they were, didn't know better what they were doing. Still great speakers though. Best sounding woofer I've ever heard.
best vintage woofer is the altec lansing 416-8b(ore his sisters 8c ....) or the combined tweeter woofer 604-8G
I'm sure that you've heard more speakers than I have.
You cant heat 20.0000hz anyway amigo. Its probably more than 20 years ago, that you where able to hear so high tones. I bet you probably won’t hear much above 17.000 maybe even less
Have you found anything inside? are you doing a video like to see inside.
I drove 11 hours for pair made a nice trip out of it .
Great drive, great tunnels. Love the channel. Like to meet you one day.
I really don't understand the choice of music used to demonstrate the speaker's performance because its a vintage speaker. You would think people would use vintage music in the speakers era. What kind of music is this anyway? Its hard for me to see how anyone could love that.
the seller didn't had a clue what he was selling and he just played his favorite music, I didn't care, I only need music to test out if all the drivers where still fine.
A bit like our dartford m25 crossing here you have to pay lots of money but | think its just for the bridge.
We in the Netherlands are completely used to the very high road taxes and the very high gasoline price. Nobody here is complaining because if you think it's to expensive or you can't afford to drive a car you step over to public transportation what is very good here. You can also take the bicycle what the government tries to promote. Bicycle roads are here separate from car roads so very safe and what is most important very good for public health. In america a liter gasoline is only 40% from what we pay here and I am not sure if they have road taxes there but here a car from 1000 kilo pay annually about 400 euro, a car from 1500 euro pay 900 euro and a car from 2000 kilo pay 1400 euro. So dutch people pay double taxes for the car because gasoline is taxed for gasoline, the dutch pay 0.77 euro tax for every liter. And that 0.77 euro a liter is ex vat what is also a tax so in the end the total tax for a liter gasoline is over 0.90 a liter!!! People in the states would never agree with such high taxes. We in the Netherlands pay: 3,78(gallon)x0.90(tax per liter)= 3.4 euro per gallon on taxes!!!!
One of the Holy Grail of speakers
Not to me.
Come to Canada. We pride ourselves on the holes in our roads. Due to das frosten heavin. If you really care about smoke stains replace the cones.
I just Bought a Mish Mash of Decent speakers Technics and Pioneer PLUS a Pioneer Reciever VSX-815 in perfect condition for $30 Australian ( about $20 US ) ,, Like I was pretty excited and only had to drive a 30km round trip
Prachtige boxen, ik kwam begin 90's in een import platen zaak en die hadden een paar, speelden vaak hard, hip hop / r&b op vinyl en klonk geweldig. Ik droomde om er een paar te kopen maar had helaas het geld niet. Nu heb ik het geld maar zijn ze niet meet te koop :(
Waarom ben je trouwens niet over Antwerpen gereden veel sneller en hoef je die tol ook niet te betalen.
No bass just a tweeter if you will buy a speaker you have too make sure that it has a good bass and great sound and that speakers is terrible it can blow it up and the amplifier is so low here in my country 160$ for 1 amplifier 2 speakers 14' 500wat + 500wat = 1000wat amplifier for 160$
JBL 4312As are a passive studio monitor, one of the most famous and well-liked models. The home version was the L100Ts, T for titanium tweeter. I have the L80Ts, home version of the 4310A, smaller 250 mm, 10" woofer, similar specs! The 4312s have a 300 mm woofer with an even heavier magnet structure. They sound best on a tube amp, or something "warm"! You should enjoy them, and that's a good price. You'll never get them for that in the U.S. The roads in the US suck because politicians refuse to tax equatably in order to create jobs and repair them. You'd think the word "taxes" was a swear word HERE. Americans are very self-centered and easily swayed by conservative rhetoric. In the meantime other advanced nations are cleaner, safer, healthier, and have better infrastructure, education and social services! Make America, not GREAT AGAIN, BUT MORE EUROPEAN, lol!
Donbusto Arigato I’ve got a pair of the L100t3’s, as well as the L20t3’s. I bought them new in 1986. They’re mint, but sorry not for sale. I’d need to spend $15,000 for the 4367’s to get more effortless reference volume.
Lol! That is awesome. Great points. BTW I have a pair of 4312a finally made enough to restore the Woofers:)
werent they mirrored?..these are identical pair..mmmm
Hello! How much did you pay for them in the end? Great find!
Vintage speakers,mint condition..........
The new ones cost 4000 euros without the stands.
that's 3000 to much
@@vintagestereo I had a bit of a mix-up I was originally referring to these. www.musicdirect.com/Portals/0/Hotcakes/Data/products/fad40aa4-56a5-4c43-afbd-e89891e3b446/medium/AJBLL100B.jpg i'm sorry
Good score Andrew. JBL made some awesome speakers back in the glory days. If Kenrick sound bought those. I bet after their restoration those be easy $5,000 the {USA } in a blink of an eye.
WOW WOW Camel ?$5000 $1200 OK!
Just scored a pair of Jbl l100 century for €120. Greatest deal ive had so far 👍
I hate u!
I want 25 minutes back in my life
Just look at the tweeters. They are both right speakers where is the other 2 left speakers?
Yeah, he got all excited, missed that important detail and bought a mis-matched set. Too much talking, not enough attention to detail. Somewhere there is a another mismatched pair of lefts.
Here too drew makes me sad going to New York toll Ny the bridge now it’s $23 dollars it’s insane so sad todays generations
5 euro. 4 euro is probably tax lol.
"woman my friends" that's it, subscribed.
Hi what’s difference of 4312 and 4311b ? Cuz I hv one , like to know 😊
250 euro?
ohhh dam!!
beautiful speakers
Hook them up to the sansui Andrew nice fiend
За сколько он их купил? 500$?
quel budjet euro, pour des JBL 4312 ?
I think I'd have bought the amp just to destroy it... I have a strong hatred of junk like that. It's neither HIFI nor professional kit. It has no proper market, I'm amazed anyone buys it new.
The JBLs are pretty cool though!
Do you know now how to get the speakers white again? I have the same pair I’m interested to know
Sound very good maybe yours the L pad control on yours need cleaning
