Vintage stuff and probably bettered by newer.
I had access to the 4311 which was the 'monitor' version of this speaker for pro use. I'd say they are good examples of 'west coast' sound. which has come and gone in favor of a more accurate sound.

Follow Ups:
I heard a pair at a friends house, no apartment back when I was much younger. Just lusted over them but they were way beyond my budget. Loved the slam of their woofers. Of course back then, I was way into Jefferson Airplane, Big Brother, Grateful Dead...the San Francisco sound being from SF myself and this was in SF!! Still really enjoy that stuff.
The way I perhaps MISTAKENLY understand it, there was NO low pass to the woofer. It was simply allowed to run full-range. Typical mid/low bass (port) peak maybe at 50 or 60hz, too.
Once I got over that boominess, I was hooked on PANEL SOUND when I sold my RSLs and bought a pair of MG-1 magnepans. Game/Set/Match.

Hello,
I have a pair of the first version with the drivers in a straight line. Personally I have always liked them. I think the crossovers are different to the later versions that came They are not as good as my Mint NS 1000s but they still sound great with Rock and Jazz to me and my set-up.
I have never heard the later versions but if anyone has compared the inline version to the later
ones please let us know.
John
