I love this website as I already have been operating a large all horn loaded system for years complete with altecs voice of the theatre cabinets. This is the bumper cars at coney island and I might add that as much as I already knew of altec and JBL I have learned even more from this site. Many thanks. Its also nice to just come and look at the things that were great from yesterday. In my opinion nothing they make today sounds better than this stuff. Would be nice for someone to remanufacture altec high efficiency speakers.But I can keep my altecs going from finding great plains audio at this amazing website. THANK YOU

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that you have an awesome site here. I've been an avid Altec fan since the mid 70's. I own a pair of 604-8G's and a pair of Model 19's. Keep up the good work! Monty Robison

Selling JBls in the 60's and 70' and still owning the C 60 for over 32 years. I have not heard a better speaker. The site was like reading a great novel. My thanks to JBL.

Is it me, or have the catalogs disapeared? Was it a copyright issue? Many thanks. Tom

Best site out there or anywhere about Altecs for sure. I have a pair of 416-8C's and a pair of 511B Horns, and I dont have a clue about what enclosure or crossover network to use for home use. Right now they reside in 38" x 16" x 18" boxes with a round port 4" dia. with minimal interior bracing. The pathetic 2-way crossovers are cheap as I am on a nonexistent budget. However I can from time to time scratch up something for aural improvements, any secrets or magic formulas would truly be appreciated. Thanks Mr. Lansing where ever you are.

I'm wondering where to find all of the information on the different speakers an drivers available at any given year that use to be on your site. I can't seem to find it. It was an asset to me. Is it gone? Rick

Hi I like and enjoy your site. Where did the Altec Catalogs go ?. The mike and hardware and other info was very usefull.Hope you will give us access again. I started to depend on your documentation. Danny Baron United Nations

Comments

Nice. But would like to see a fuller list of JBL speakers, i.e., N600 .

Comments

Your website is so great.Keep up the good work. Thanks Göran Blomgren

Comments

Your website is beautifully done. However, it is not printer friendly. Would it be possible for me to obtain a copy of the presentation of the JBL Paragon that you have on this site? I am interested in anything to do with the Paragon, manuals, pictures, brochures, plans, etc.. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Comments

Thanks for all your hard work and time. This is a great site!

Although the Altec part of Lansing has been killed it is very important to preserve the history and develop a trust or foundation. Internet media such as this fine web site contribution & possibly a a dedicated Lansing Museum for our future generations is certainly my hope. The gift of Lansing's engineering for the theatre was a gift a to mankind.

Comments

I like your new site and your commitment to document JBL's history. I would like to see complete pages, one day, of all of JBL's vintage speakers with photos, specs and explanations. I'm sure many users would be happy to contribute!

Like your new look. Am just getting ready to give the address for this site to a cousin who admired Dad so much he calls his business J.W. Lansing (the J.W being his own initials). Anyway, thought I would take a quick look to see what has been added and, voila, a complete new look. Lois

It's nice to know that I am not totally insane. There are people out there that have the same passion and enthusiasm for the man and the company that has truly changed our lives forever. I have been, and am an owner, of two of the greatest loudspeakers in the world. My first pair of speakers were L112's. God I miss 'em. My computer speakers which I am listening to right now are 4312a's. Pretty serious speakers for a computer don't you think? What would have happened to the audio industry without the likes of, Jim Lansing, Saul Marantz, David Hafler, Sidney Harman, Bernie Kardon, Avery Fisher, Frank McIntosh and all whom have made American Audio, The Greatest on Earth. This site represents a major contribution to that legacy, and to the legacy of The James B. Lansing Sound Company. My sincere gratatude to all who have made this site possible.

Regards, W. Ernst

Have just downloaded Drew Daniels' description of his Ultimate System and am contemplating building some portion of it if finances permit.

Many, many thanks for such a giving interested audiophiles access to this wonderful site. Know it has required much time and effort. Truly appreciate your great creativity in presenting the information in such an accessible manner.

Thanks again,

Clayton Teague

Great Job You've done ! I am the owner of a 2231Alnico in a B380 enclosure and except for the 1976 JBL Prfessional Series catalog had never been able to find very much info on either driver or enclosure. Very Nice Job !! Thankz =)

Comments

Absolutely the best page on the web. I have been a loudspeaker hobbiest for many years and have loved JBL products. I sure miss the good old days when JBL offered a line of their drivers to the public. Congrats to everyone that put all the effort and work into the site. Great Job!

Comments

very usefull site for jbl users and others I am using jbl speakers since 1970 and i'm still very content with it

I have been trying to acquire a pair of S3100MKII speakers for some time (a Greg Timber design, I believe). Can you help? Thanks!!! Steve

Comments

I'm guilty of turning many of my peers on to the beautiful sound of JBL speakers. Born and raised listening to a pair of L100 (Dad's) , I now rock some L26 decades from 1976 and an elaborate JBL car system. I'm really glad that you fellas have created such an informative website. Please keep doing it- I've learned so much on my first visit here! Thank you very much!! ~Rudy Curatolo

Comments

what comments are there to make when you have already seen the content on this site, it's just fabulous, I trying to add something to it when I have my project ready of which you can follow the building on my website www.frank.bmwe30.net

Congratulations on one of the most valuable and informative professional audio sites that I've seen. This is now a daily web stop.

Comments

Thanks so much for this great site. Isn't it so cool that the internet can bring together all of us Altec and JBL fans. I have owned A7's since 1978 and at present listen to biamped (with tubes of course) homemade A7's that are highly tweaked and absolutely wonderful sounding. I can listen for hours.

After three months, I'm happy to report that our guestbook is finally back in business. The technical issue that prevented posting has been resolved

I need to find a n809-8a cross over for one of my speakers, can you assist me? GP Anderson, 414 3rd st. s.w., Wadena, MN. 56482

I want to congradulate you in high regards on this super website. I've been a big audio enthusiast in classic JBL loudspeakers since I've heard them in the mid 70's. As a matter of fact, I've owned a pair of L-65 Jubals, L 40's and L 19's. They were incredible systems. I've thought that I would not be able to see such information exist on the past history of the company. I was able to get in contact with Hal Cox in the San Francisco Bay area. He does in fact carry a huge selection of the classic JBL loudspeaker systems. Perhaps you can get in touch with him. He could be a valuable asset to your website. Again good job in substaining the Lansing legacy!

Thanx

Phil

Great site ,fun to look around and learn more about my JBL! collection,small but growing.Could you ad a space for service and repair facilities around the country.

Comments

This is an outstanding web site.

In 1975, I bought a pair of JBL 4332 bi-amped Studio Monitors(NEW), I use a HK Citation 16 and a HK Citation 12. The pre-amp is a HK Citation 11. In 1989 the HK 16 developed a "pop", I suspect a discharging capacitor, and I haven't used any of the equipt since. One speaker has a tweeter that is not functional. I'd like to hear from anyone with anything to say or talk about regarding what I considered to be, for many years, a beautiful system.

Comments

it's the best JBL and ALTEC site I ever seen!

Comments

My father was in the theater business and used Altec speakers almost exclusively. In the late 50's, when many of his movie houses closed, he saved many of the speakers. I have four of the speakers that I continue to use as part of my stero system. I also inherited a long Bolero 890C that I am looking for a mate. I would appreciate any direction you could provide as to where I might find such a unit. Thanks

#1 I have a pair of L-26 decade. GREAT SPEAKERS!!!! #2 I'm looking for a tech data of ALTEC CHALLENGER 10 2way bookshelf!!!!

Did Telex sell off all inventory of Altec products?

Really enjoyed this site. Sold afew Altec speakers in the early 70's and bought A7-500 stuff at salesmans prices through the store I worked at, which was Cramer Hi-Fi Streo, closed about 1975, in Boston, Ma. Heartbreaking to learn of company demise. Bought new 511-b's about 7 years ago to go with some other drivers I had at home and was looking forward to getting some new woofers for the A7 cabinets that were given to me last year. Have 1968 catalog and 1990 catalog. Also have two of those funky-curly WE horns from an old theater.
