View Full Version : Mystery JBL bookshelf speakers

I just found a pair of large bookshelf speakers missing the name plates on the grill cloth....and carrying the identification "Model 2360"on the Hi Freq control on the rear.

The drivers are clearly a 12" JBL with no nameplate but unmistakeable structure and paper dome, a 10" passive radiator and a small cone tweeter with a very large magnet. The tweeter appears the same as some I have seen in the old Lancer systems.

From what I see on the web these are not the Lancer 66 nor 77 nor 99. They look like the 77 but with the 12" woofer which appears to be a stock installation..and the speaker holes are positioned exactly right for the 12 and 10" speakers. So I don't think it is a retrofit by some hacker.

I'd appreciate any info on what these may be and how they were marketed and when. Any specs also would be helpful.

Thanks

The most common use of "2360" by JBL would be the gigantic BiRadial horn typically used in cinema applications. Obviously, that's not what you have.

I'm afraid you'll need to post a picture. Words are inadequate in this case. :)
