Customer review from France posted by Eric who purchased JBL 4345's
Dear Kenji,
As I promised to Kenji, I let my impressions about the transaction and the products sold by Kenrick Sound.
Above all, I want to apology for the translation into English (I hope my words will be well translated and understood properly. ...).
I discovered the true JBL sound in recent years (unfortunately not through a recent productions).
So I was looking for a speaker series 43 .. and especially of 4345 (following a variety of plays made with friends and acquaintances).
It is almost impossible to find the 4345 in France (even in Europe) in excellent condition, origin and at "reasonable" price. ... So I turned to Kenrick Sound to find my happiness.
To be honest, I was not that confident in the early stage before the purchase, (distance, transport and insurance to obtain a product line true to the description given by Kenrick Sound).
My doubts were immediately erased, after my first exchange with Kenji.
I found someone passionate and listening to all questions asked by a potential buyer (it's pretty rare these days to be underlined).
Kenji has answered all my questions and queries with patience and reactivity.
After a month of transportation by sea, I have received the speakers, within the lead time announced by Kenrick Sound.
The packaging was done very professionally. Triple Protection (polystyrene, plywood, plastic film and thick cardboard), all set on 3 pallets for the speakers plus a second package containing the solid wood walnut stand for the speakers.
Unpacking lasted 1 hour!
The restoration work done on the 4345 is exceptional (and I weigh my words). I feel like I have some new speakers!
Having placed the 4345 (not without difficulty because of their weight ...) in their location, their implement and adjustments have been started.
A first rough setting has been made, pending the arrival of a friend knowing fully the 4345 (he owns a pair, and the Everest DD55000, the L300 and 4312B)
My friend was impressed by Kenrick Sound’s work.
Congratulations Kenji.
The speakers are in excellent condition, new suspension (Edge), new screws, attenuators cleaned and checked. ... The boxes are beautiful.
As for the solid wood walnut stand, they match perfectly with the 4345. The manufacturing quality is remarkable. They are perfect.
My 4345 is bi-amplified, using a crossover M552.
The woofer is drive by an amp PSS audio studio.
The medium / treble, a Hybrid Amplifier Conrad Johnson Evo 2000.
After my friend had refined settings, the results are impressive.
Here is a sample of his first impressions, put on a forum:
<< I went to Eric’s and adjust thoroughly his new 4345 in “bi-amp” (I think he’ll soon speak of this). These monsters really look impressive. You're really “in live” with the musicians as is in a cabaret, everybody in it’s own place, size ... (this is hardly ever met except with truly oversized systems , but not in the HIFI Shows) .... it climbs high, it opens wider, it dives into hell and no masking effect, which is not easy to achieve, it is "punchy" at will (should hear some percussions attacks or flamenco) and truly beautiful tones, without any exaggeration (the singers are not all prostitutes). In short, it sounds "fair" and is really bluffing ... the sensation of being "live" with all the performers in a cabaret, everybody in his place, and it's very rare that kind of feeling ... ..>>
In short, this is happiness. The 4345 has incredible potential.
I would like to thank Kenji and his team for their work, giving a second life to these wonderful speakers.
I recommend without reservation to all lovers and enthusiasts wishing to possess JBL speakers in the series 43 .. to consider Kenrick Sound’s offers.
The value for money is simply remarkable.
A team of passionate entitled to passionates
Bravo and thank you again Kenji.
_*TRANSLATION :
*_Comme je l’avais promis a Kenji, je laisse mes impressions sur la transaction et les produits vendus par Kenrick Sound.
Avant tout, je tiens à m’excuser pour la traduction Français / Anglais (j’espère que mes propos seront bien traduits et compris….).
J’ai découvert le vrai son JBL depuis quelques années (malheureusement pas à travers les dernières productions).
J’étais donc a la recherche d’enceintes de la série 43.. et plus particulièrement des 4345 (suite a divers écoutes faites chez des amis et connaissances).
Les 4345, sont « pratiquement introuvables » en France (même en Europe) en excellent état, d’origine et a un prix « raisonnable »…. Je me suis donc tourné vers Kenrick Sound pour trouver mon bonheur.
A vrai dire, c’est avec une certaine appréhension (au début), que j’ai envisagé cet achat (l’éloignement, le transport et l’assurance d’obtenir un produit conforme à la description faite par Kenrick Sound).
Mes doutes ont tout de suite été levés, dès mes premiers échanges avec Kenji.
J’ai trouvé une personne passionnée et à l’écoute de toutes questions posées par un acheteur potentiel (c’est assez rare de nos jours, pour être souligné).
Kenji a répondu à toutes mes questions et interrogations avec patience et rapidité.
Après un mois de transport par mer, j’ai réceptionné les enceintes. Le délai annoncé par Kenrick Sound était tenu.
L’emballage était réalisé de façon très professionnelle. Triple protection (polystyrène, contre plaqué, filmage serré et carton de forte épaisseur), le tout posé sur 3 palettes.
Un second colis contenant les pieds support en bois accompagnait celui des enceintes.
L’ouverture et le déballage lui seul à durer 1 heure !!!
Le travail de restauration réalisé sur les 4345 est tout simplement exceptionnel (et je pèse mes mots). J’ai l’impression d’avoir devant moi des hauts parleurs neufs !!
Après avoir mis en place les 4345 (non sans mal étant donné leur poids…), leur mise œuvre et les réglages ont pu commencé
Un premier réglage « grossier » a été réalisé, en attendant la venue d’un ami connaissant parfaitement les 4345 (il en possède une paire, ainsi que des Everest DD55000, des L300 et 4312B).
Mon ami a été impressionné par le travail réalisé par Kenrick Sound.
Félicitation Kenji.
Les hauts parleurs sont en excellent état, suspensions neuves, visseries neuves, atténuateurs nettoyés et vérifiés….Les caisses sont superbes.
Je ne parle pas des pieds supports, qui se marient parfaitement avec les 4345. La qualité de fabrication est remarquable. Ils sont parfaits, dans toutes leurs proportions.
Mes 4345 sont bi-amplifiées, via un filtre actif M552.
Le woofer est drivé par un ampli PSS audio studio.
Le medium/aigu, par un ampli hybride Conrad Johnson Evo 2000.
Après que mon ami ait affiné les réglages, les résultats sont impressionnants.
Voici un extrait de ses premières impressions, mis sur un forum :
<< J’ai été chez Eric mettre en service et régler aux petits oignons ses nouvelles 4345 en bi-amp (je pense qu'il en parlera bientôt), c'est vraiment impressionnant dans son local ces monstres, tu es vraiment "en direct" avec les musicos dans un cabaret, chacun à sa place, grandeur nature (ce qu'on ne rencontre pour ainsi dire jamais à part sur des systèmes vraiment hors normes, et pas dans les salons hifi) ….ça monte haut, ça ouvre plus large, ça descend aux enfers et sans aucun effet de masque, ce qui n'est pas évident à obtenir, c'est "punchy" à souhait (faut voir un peu les attaques de percussions ou le flamenco) et avec de beaux timbres naturels, sans exagération aucune (les chanteuses ne sont pas toutes des filles de joie), bref, ça sonne "juste" et vraiment bluffant...On a la sensation d'être "en direct" avec tous les interprètes dans un cabaret, chacun à sa place, et c'est vraiment très rare ce genre de sensation…..>>
Bref, vous l’aurez compris que du bonheur. Ces 4345 ont un potentiel incroyable.
Je tiens à remercier Kenji et toute son équipe, pour le travail réalisé afin de redonner une seconde vie a ces superbes hauts parleurs.
Je conseille, sans réserve à tous amoureux et passionnés de JBL désirant posséder des hauts parleurs de la série 43.. de tenir compte des offres de Kenrick Sound.
Le rapport qualité prix est tout simplement remarquable.
Une équipe de passionnée, au service de passionnés.
Bravo et encore merci Kenji.

Hi Kenji,
First I would like to say thank you for the prompt shipping and excellent packaged, you're very knowledgeable and helpful person, the speaker arrived without any damaging or malfunction, I mean in perfect condition, even the shipping is a little bit too costly but it worth for every single buck.
I can't wait to unpack the speaker so that I asked my friend come over and help me to move the speaker down to the basement ( my audio room ) then hoops it up to my audio gears and found a right spot fit the speaker, after a roughly set up been done, we're almost out of breath, the speaker is so darn heavy and my arms are so sore until next couple days, anyway we finally can sit down and listen to it, mmmm…what should I say….
its a fabulous speaker, neutral and extremely revealing excellent bottom end, image is rock solid, smooth mids and a punchy yet tight bass, kick drums and percussion was reproduced accurately with visceral tactile punch, I like the sound coming from the speaker, I tested the speaker on a variety of material including jazz, classical and rock, rumorous JBL is not suit for classical especially strings, for me its far more OK on my system, the violin sounds like violin and the piano you probably can see a grand piano played in front of you, the speaker is a true reference, compare to my previous speaker PMC IB1 only the mids could be in the same league other than that I would say switch to 4344 is a big step up, IB1 is still one of my favorite speaker, before I owned that, I did audition lots of modern speakers including Wilson, JML and B&W, PMC is so live like and rock solid compare with others, I think the modern hi end speakers only more refine and nothing else, the reason I look for the 4344 without any audition is when I was a child JBL4343 is my dream speaker, actually my buddy's (schoolmate) dad has a pair of 4343, at that time the speaker is taller than me I felt the speaker so huge as well as the sound is so big, I was so impressed and was thinking I must owned a pair someday, unfortunately when I thinking I could afford to get one it is obsolete long time ago already and nearly impossible to get a decent pair in north America, until I realized you guys in Japan still carry some big JBL studio monitors in impeccable condition, I decided order a pair of 4344 that's I believe it's a little improved from 4343, (correct me if I'm wrong) anyway I'm very satisfied for the speaker and prove its the right direction.
One thing comes into to my mind is observed now a day the hi end expensive speakers has no improve over 30 years when compared with 4344 0r even 4343, maybe some audiophile mania can have a clue why, the 4344 may not be perfect (in fact pretty close) but it does almost everything well with no serious flaws, someone may says it's little too expensive but for me it's a terrific bargain. Good job Kenji, I hope your business will keep going and going so that the JBL big fans still has a good source to get those fabulous speakers.
"Comment by Kenrick Sound"
I appreciate everything during our deal. I hope somebody else in Canada get to be interested in 43XX series monitors on my website.
Best regards, Kenji

Customer review from Germany posted by Mr. Florian who purchased JBL 2308 Style KENRICK SOUND Acoustic Lenses
Dear Mr. Hosoi,
I've received a pair out of your second batch of these Kenrick 2308 repro lenses, which are currently available again.
So far I have had four pairs of originals in more or less used condition for comparison, have kept two intact pairs. I would consider myself picky, and it's quite possible more JBL speakers in need of undamaged lenses will come by in future. For now I will use them on my 4343's – some pictures are attached for your pleasure.
Anyway, these lenses are as good as it gets now and look brandnew of course. I'd order another pair from you anytime there is need, and be done. Handling and shipping to Europe was professional as well.
Highly recommended. Many thanks from Berlin/Germany.

Customer review from Hong Kong posted by Mr. Vincent who purchased JBL 4315
Dear Mr. Kenji Hosoi,
Good Morning. How are you?
"Wow....unbelievable good package and performance"
Since I have some delay on my business trip, the speaker is just arrived to my house 2 days ago. Yes, it's passed 2 months in the warehouse. This is the first time I am buying some audio stuff from overseas, that I have not listening to it before. My purchase is JBL 4315A, which is an 1977 products. Cannot believe such an products, which has passed more than 30 years can have an good condition like this. The sound, very clear and accurate. I am very satisfied with this purchase, and with special thanks to Mr. Kenji Hosoi.
Thanks with best regards,
Vincent :)
Thank you for your purchase. Best Regards, Kenji.

Honestly, it is not easy to believe that it is quite easy to buy some JBL speakers from Japan and get them shipped to your home very safe and quick. Actually, I am writing this review, because I was so satisfied with KENRICK SOUND.
Mr. Kenji Hosoi, the head of this small company is a music lover himself, of course, JBL studio monitors are his favourites, as you can imagine.. He loved JBL so much, that he decided to make a business, just to offer people all over the world wonderful JBL's for moderate and honest prices, including an outstanding service and a support anytime.
I met Mr. Kenji Hosoi personally and it became aware quite quick, that this guy is unbelievably nice, honest and highly reliable.
So I decided to order a pair of speakers from KENRICK SOUND. The whole deal went through very quick and only two weeks later two big, custom made wooden crates knocked on my door; perfectly packed and crated. I would really like to encourage all JBL lovers, especially those from overseas and Europe, to make contact with KENRICK SOUND in case of serious interest in buying JBL speakers.
This company is standing behind his word ; KENRICK SOUND has an outstanding service and support and makes it easy to customers to order speakers and get them shipped very safe to their homes. Offered are only perfectly maintained speakers and shipping and handling the speakers is astonishingly moderate. I had the pleasure to obtain a perfectly restored pair of 4350 studio monitors in mint condition- of course with an outstanding sound. Of course KENRICK SOUND!
Thank you Mr. Hosoi
