Deal Details
I was trying to find a deal for the JBL L100, and found these are 30% off. Good deal on the 4312g minus the aesthetics of the L100 and wood veneer.

These are actually pro studio monitor speakers, not a "bookshelf" speaker. It's a reboot of the classic JBL 4300 series from the '70s and '80s.

I think "bookshelf" and "pro studio" would be misnomers for both the L100 and the 4312G. They're large and don't belong on a bookshelf. And there's nothing preventing someone for buying these for home use.

My father in law had the classic versions of these. If I had 2k to buy a pair of speakers, I would definitely consider these

You're right, there is no reason these could not be used at home, but most studio monitors have a different frequency balance compared to consumer models, which I believe was the point he was trying to make.

I understand. I don't believe these are voiced to be razor flat like Genelec or Neumann by any means based on this review: https://hometheaterhifi.com/revie...er-review/

12" sub in a bookshelf speaker? Requires a Shaquille o Neal bookshelf.

Lots of interesting stuff on that site... look at the prices of the JBL HDI lineup... ooof.

Spiritual successor to the studio line that gets posted so much. Nicer/more conventional styling.

Brick and mortar is the way to go for the HDI speakers. You'll definitely get 10% off minimum especially when purchased as a package with an amp.

JBL - 4312G So does the "G" mean that it has a built-in graphics card?
