Hello, Needless to say, the site is outstanding! It is a work of art. I own a pair of JBL Dorian C56. I am very happy with them. Ray

Hey great sight! I'm a huge fan of anything that makes music sound good, and at the top of that list are great speakers. I was reading harmanpro magazine and learned for the first time some of your JBL history. I knew JBL made great speakers. In fact I have some I bought in a high end speaker shop. Their custom made speakers sounded good but were out of my price range, so I took A/Bed them against a set of rebuilt speakers. The rebuits sounded better than the expensive new custom speakers, and were within my price range. So I've owned a set of great sounding JBL L77s for at least 15 years. I knew they had some years on them, but never knew till today that they are 1971 vintage. And they still look and sound great! I use them for my main stereo, and have my keyboard (a Korg Triton) connected to them via a mixer. Marty

Considering how big the impact of JBL has been on the evolution of the speaker. It's only fitting that someone achieves the journey. Not to mention the fact that there is still a lot of vintage JBL speakers still lovingly enjoyed. thanks for a look at the history. Roger

VOTT's are fabulous!!!! As a former part-time radio announcer, I was constantly looking for speakers that would reproduce the most horrific musical instrument. Ya know, the mamoth pipe organ! I listened to a set of VOTT's in the living room of a broadcast and recording engineers house. He drove them with about sixty (60) watts. The organ never sounded reproduced so beautiful and clean, crisp!!

Hi, I work for a 5 years in the early 70's with an ALTEC 9200 Console.I lost all the documents about this console and their components. Do you have some pictures and technical specs. from this 9200 console? I valued so highly. Thanks in advance for your help.

As a proud owner of a pristine (well, pretty darn nice) pair of Altec Model 19s, I was thrilled to find this site. What a great site for lovers of the Lansing products!! Keep up the great work! Cheers!

Just a quick thought as I fell across a Wisconsin Alumni Golf Tourney saying "Rob McRitchie and Tim Ciotti" 1st Place? After googling Don and Rob McRitchie (not very computer savy, stuck in the days of the pen)came across this site. Could it be? Don and Rob from Rochester, MI?? If this is true, I hope this note reaches you and reaches you well. Cheers to Hampton's Finest. Your lost friend, Dave Lion

I have spent the better part of today exploring your site and there is so much more than I have yet to uncover. Thank You! I woke up and did a google search for "Jim B. Lansing", found you and now I'll go crank up my trusty ol' L-40's in honor of all the great men and their work behind 'em!

GREAT SITE AND TRIBUTE TO ONE OF THE GREATS IN THE SOUND INDUSTRY,HATS OF LOVE TO KNOW ABOUT J.B.L,KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

My father was a sales rep for Lorne F. Greene and Associates many years ago. They sold/repped James B. Lansing products in the Chicago area. Sometime around the late 60's or very early 70's he purchased a "Paragon" sound system which I still have along with a #375 high frequency driver. I remember that he had with that a dividing network and back loaded horn which I think was a #C435. I look forward to learning more about the history of the equipment he valued so highly.

I used to own a magnificent pair of JBL L-100t floor standing speakers (back in the 90's). Since then, I have become a JBL "addmirere" and allways on the search for new models. Allthough I do not use JBL speakers in my current system nowdays, I still consider it the best home/professional speaker brand available. CHAU RONNIE

Very enjoyable and informative site. Long time JBL fan. Have owned the following: L-25, L-36, L-88PM12, L-100, L100T, L-200...Added 2405 pro tweeters and L-300 xovers, L-220, L-250...various car drivers and subs and a pair of S-4 in-wall speakers. Still own several pair of the above. My pic of the lot....love my L-220'S. Have had them re-foamed once but they still perform like new and I've had them since 1979. They are my main speakers in my surround system with L-100T's in the rear. They'll part your hair!! Have been in the audio/video field since the late 70's and have sold many lines of high-end speakers. Still prefer the vintage JBL's (let's not forget Altec...Model 19's or 604's in a 602 cabinet certainly kick butt), over essentially anything else. Currently building a guitar amp/speaker combo using a pair of 112a 8" drivers out of a pair of L-212's and various other JBL drivers. OK...I'm outta here for now....great site. Ray

Great site!! I use a pair of 4312A since 1986. They can still beat other more expensive speakers nowadays. With good tube amplification they can sound like a dream. Lot of respect goes to the pioneers of the early days from JBL. The 4312A bass loudspeaker is still one of the best in the world!!

Comments

I have come across what I belive to be, after speaking with Steve Upchurch at Altec Lansing, a 30w5 Shearer cabinet. The horn is no longer with it and the original wiifers are gone. Is there any market for the cabinet or any use a a subwoofer??
