Short answer: the JBL 4369 is the newer model that replaces the JBL 4367, but only the JBL 4367 has been measured and ranked so far, so this comparison is on specs and features rather than sound. The JBL 4367 is discontinued, so it is now a used buy.
The case for the JBL 4369: A two-way floorstanding studio monitor with a 15” 2219Nd-1 Differential Drive woofer and the 3” D2830B dual-diaphragm compression driver on a Sonoglass HDI horn, crossed over at 800Hz.
On the JBL 4367 side: Three-way design pairing a 15” front-ported woofer with a compression driver on a controlled-dispersion horn/waveguide, crossed over at 700Hz.
Price: the JBL 4369 lists at $25,000 and the JBL 4367 at $16,500.
Buy the JBL 4367 if you want a speaker whose sound quality has been measured and ranked.
Buy the JBL 4369 if you want the newer model, and you can wait for measurements to confirm how it sounds.

The Two Speakers In Full
JBL 4369: $25,000 per pair eBay
Older model: the JBL 4367 (rated 4.6/5).
Pros: A two-way floorstanding studio monitor with a 15” 2219Nd-1 Differential Drive woofer and the 3” D2830B dual-diaphragm compression driver on a Sonoglass HDI horn, crossed over at 800Hz. JBL rates it at 93dB sensitivity, very easy to drive, with a 6 ohm load and response to 28Hz (-6dB) from its front ports. Front panel trims adjust the high and ultra-high frequencies.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared with ranked speakers. It weighs 63.5 kg each, stands 1.12 m tall, and is sold only through JBL Synthesis dealers at a flagship price.

JBL 4367: $16500 per pair Discontinued eBay
Newer model: the JBL 4369. It’s likely to perform similarly, though we don’t have measurements to confirm that yet.
Pros: Three-way design pairing a 15” front-ported woofer with a compression driver on a controlled-dispersion horn/waveguide, crossed over at 700Hz. On-axis frequency response is nearly dead flat, holding within about ±1.5dB, with the listening window tracking it closely except right at the crossover. Distortion stays below 1% THD across the entire audible band at both 86dB and 96dB. Compression/dynamic-range linearity is exceptional: within about a quarter of a dB from 76dB to 102dB, among the best the reviewer has measured. High sensitivity (about 92.6dB average) eases the amplifier match despite the speaker’s size. Minimal rear radiation thanks to the 15” woofer’s directivity and front-firing ports: rear energy runs about 20dB down from the primary wavefront, giving it a near-cardioid radiation pattern. Well-controlled horn directivity keeps the soundstage from noticeably shifting in width across the 700Hz crossover region. A natural high-frequency rolloff above about 7-8kHz gives it an easy, non-fatiguing character for extended listening sessions. Measured bass extension of 43Hz (-3dB), with a measured sensitivity of 92.5dB.
Cons: At roughly $16500/pair, this is a major investment: the reviewer recommends buying from a dealer with a liberal return policy. Vertical response shows dips beyond about ±10-20°, with a larger null further out: an inherent trade-off of mating a 15” woofer to a horn compression driver at a 700Hz crossover, since crossing lower would hurt power handling and dynamic range. Horizontal directivity isn’t perfectly consistent with frequency: narrow (about ±20°) through 200-800Hz, briefly widening to near ±50° above the crossover, then narrowing again at high frequency. An unusual, non-constant pattern. The high-frequency rolloff that gives it an easy-listening character also reduces the sense of air and space in the soundstage when listening from off-center seats. Massive and heavy (about 120 lbs, roughly 36-37” tall): needs to be raised on a stand to bring the horn to ear level, and isn’t something one person easily moves alone. Only modest EQ adjustment is available on the speaker itself (about ±1-2dB bass/treble trim). Discontinued.
