JBL 4312 as a living room speaker, especially the new 4312SE

Oh, I didn't see that. Maybe he is (or he's a hoarder) :) I only have 17 pairs of speakers myself.......(edited quantities 3 times as I remembered more in the closet and forgot the ones in the garage......

Well then, I'm preaching to the choir.....never mind......
 
They look like they would sound pretty good with the signature JBL sound, but I have to agree, I hate the black wood and that big honkin JBL logo on the side.

OK Jonas. Looks like you opted for the 4429s instead of the soon to be "highly collectible" 4312se. So what is the verdict on the 590/4429 compare listening experience? Not to hi-jack the thread, but Wayner I can't resist the asking: what are those 17 pairs of speakers?

That's a big list! Thanks for taking the time to type that out. I did have the Paradigm Studio 40s. Don't know which gen. probably first. I used them with two twelves per side crossed over at 300Hz. They are flat and detailed speakers. Sounded good in that bi-amped system. Old Technics 800 receiver for the bottom end a Threshold 500 for the top. Technics had better bass.
 
Highly interested in 4312SE (vs 4312E) review. But what happened with 4319? They are gone from the JBL site and also not in the discontinued section, unlike other models.
Btw this statement is a bit erroneous:

The 4312SE is often seen in Japanese coffee and music places.

How can the SE be often seen in Japan yet as it had just hit the market? Maybe the 4312E is what's referred to here?
