Brings back the memories. Great site!

Finding your site for the first time today, I'm touched by the history. You see, I worked at the Altec Lansing plant in Anaheim from 1968 to 1981. I still have two "Magnificents" in my living room customized with 515's & 288's, also a 729 equalizer.

You have made available, with considerable effort, a wealth of information to the music loving public. Including a fascinating insight of the "Great Man" and his legacy. We are grateful for your contribution, and wish to encourage you to keep up this excellent job.

You have a very informative site. I visited the Casitas Ave facility in the early ('71 & '72). I remember the shopping carts of drivers being moved from location to location during manufacture. I've had the privilege of owning some of JBL's finest component speakers over the years and look forward to continued collaborations. Bob Wyatt

The great site for the great man!But the new products "Oriented Made" obscured this legend!

Comments

Great site, have been using Altec VOTT components since mid 60's. Still sound great. Within the last couple of years, have aquired several solid state amps, 1590C's etc. Man the clarity of 1 watt with these amp is amazing. Loud is good if it's clean... :-)

One more time, great job on this site!

Rather a very nice historical story from the world leading manufactory, and more, the greatest state of the art inventor, Mr JAMES BULLOUGH LANSING. Still more than 50 years after the begining, JBL stay the reference. In high fidelity because all they do come fro professional technology and in professionnal systems for concerts tours,nighr clubs, studios, theatres / cinemas, and areas. Go on! a user of JBL product since 1976!! since 4530 bass cabinet and after 4818!!

I LOVE JBL PARAGON!! LOOK AT MY HOME PAGE!! FROM JAPAN!!

Very nice website ! Well documented and interresting to read and look. It represents a nice and deserved tribute to Mr JB Lansing,without doubt a pioneer in sound reproduction.It's nice to see JBL still pursuing the same vision of perfection and creativity.The latest iteration of the S Serie, the S9800 is a resounding example of the heritage left by its founder.

Anyone still around that worked with me during the 1960's when I was a Field Engineer with Altec Service Corporation? My responsibility then was to service and trouble shoot motion picture theater, auitorium, television and film studio sound and 35/16mm motion picture projection equipments. I worked throughout the Southern U.S. and with government facilities in Washington, D.C. Any of you guys remember me? Carl Warner

I have had 4 Altec-Lansing Valencia speakers since the early 1970's and love the quality of sound. I have had 100's of offers to buy them but no way. I will pass on 1 pair to each of my sons. I might have them play at my funeral....ha ha

Comments

Do you have any JBL-L100 egg crate speaker grills for sale..? Also, do you know if they will fit a pair of L110's? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have been fasinated with the JBL sound since the 70's. I bought my first pair of L200's. My first encounter was with- then, Ms. Melody Bell (PR) of JBL. I wanted to do my own speaker designs w/ JBL componets. She supplied myself, with all the liturature to build system/blueprints. Since that day I have had dozens of Factory models and have modified them to my liking. It has been a lot of fun. My listening room now has become smaller (childern again!) is not as large with my horn loaded L300's w S-22 system. I found the L212's are a great under rated system. I have since added a second matching sub-to take the burden off both left and right signals of the mono version system. Removed the 066's and replaced with 075's. As is the mids 5-9's to the larger 5-2's. Very apealing sound with the VAC 30/30 Valve amp, CPA MKlll pre.
