Which amplifier for JBL4312E ?

[chiragh]

Hey guys

Please suggest best integrated amplifier for JBL 4312E speakers .

My max budget 35,000/-

I need more of SQ than features in the amp !

Also which is a better Amp between YAMAHA AS500 or ONKYO A 9050

Thanks

Hello,

JBL+Yamaha would be slight forward and Onkyo should be much forward. But to drive 12Inch Drivers hope Yamaha AS500 would get chocked .

Wait and try for some 100 Watts amps for running the speakers, else it would damage the speakers.Just 2 Cents of Mine.


Well you could tried Used Amps at your Budget Else wait ,Add few pounds to the funding then got for the Amps.

All the Best

Hey! Congrats on the speaker purchase & from what I've heard about them, it's great speaker, hope you enjoy it for a long time.
For that budget you should be looking at a used amp. More than the watts you need an amp with good control over the 12" bass drivers. Even if you are open to a used amp, imo you are still at a tight budget. As your speakers can do with a better amp.
I believe you have JB & Gun to guide you, as they might have heard them with a few amps already.
All the best.
Cheers

Pre-owner Nad or Marantz would sound better with JBL imho.Keep watching some Good deals over the forum and online portals too.

I am JBL Fan and i Envy on your speakers toohyeah:

hi, i had the consumer version JBL L112 With the same driver configuration. i am driving them with vintage SANSUI AU717 and the results are match made in heaven.
the Sansui is well known for its bass and its kicking the jbl 12" woofers with excellent punch with controlled bass.
some times i drove them with pioneer SA 9800 and the results are also very good.
once i connected them with modern ONKYO TX NR906 and not much impressed.

hooked up the A-S500 with 4312 last night ( Please note am using them with Denon Dns-3700 & Behringer VMX1000 mixer) !!

These are extremely clear and loud out of the box , but speakers definetly need run in .

Also bought AIV Silverado and Gladen RCA , speaker cables am using is Pro Fx 14 gauge !
