Introducing myself & sharing thanks, after buying JBL 48s!

I've never been a member, but have floated in and out of here for years to glean info from posters here, and I THANK YOU!!!

Timopaint's the name, art's my game. I live to paint, and do so to sonic sounds. As best as I can muster, without having ever been a true collector of top equipment.

I bought a stereo setup, my very first purchase after bolting a monster ex and getting my own place. I've had it ever since.

Upgraded my JBL N38s (purchased 22 years ago, and still sound new) with a pair of JBL 4800s I found this morning at a resale shop for $100. Perfect condition.

Just hooked them up. I'm blown away. Again. Like the first time I heard by N38s. Unbelievable.

Almost 60 yrs old and I feel like a kid again!!!

The studio that rocks for over 13 years running will now rock even harder. Always wanted another set of JBLs to use my Speaker A/B selections.

I've always felt JBLs gave the best low and high volume sound at immense value. This confirms, again.

I knew they'd be good after taking the screens off and giving the components a good look for cracks, care, etc. Best part was jumping in here and hearing what you folks had to say on the 4800s, and the crystalline pristine sonics currently rocking the house.

Have a number of rock star commissions to finish out, as that has been a big part of my business. Just finished a Jerry Garcia for a client from Boston... I'll share here. Wishing you all my best - Timo

Awesome artwork! Can't speak from experience to those particular speakers, but can relate to the feeling of trying out new and improved sound! Thanks for sharing and welcome to AK.

Welcome! Like the Artwork! The vibrant colors go great with the subject matter.
thanks, gizz! I really love expanding my range & experimenting with colors/schemes. So many have their distinct wishes, and I accommodate 100%, to the best of my abilities, always!

Welcome aboard..
Thanks, avionic!

Just cut a screen shot of my current playlist, giving it the first listen with new to me JBL 4800s. I find stuff from all over the world to listen to. Love the sonic stuff that takes you for a ride... most of these artists many may not have hear of, but, I went on a quest to find out the new generation of artists who take you for that ride we got when we first popped Floyd, Deep Purple, Hendrix, Zep, Zappa, Doors, etc...

I'd love to know if any of you dig this stuff. I have so many more playlists I've built out specifically to paint to. Hundreds if not thousands... That is a system that works for me, running stuff off my computer in a no fuss, no muss fashion while I'm immersed in my painting work.

Thanks, Kent!

I'm listening to really obscure stuff I've just posted, day two with those JBLs and it is cool hearing the difference. These have a rounder sound, more expansive, the mids & highs sound way better, the base richer. Pretty cool! Couldn't wait to get back here today.
