Hi guys,

Yesterday i won a bid on a pair of JBL L3 loudspeakers for US$ 125,00.
Is this a reasonable deal and can somebody tell me anything about the quality of these JBL's ? Do they have special surrounds ? I will use these speakers with a Harman Kardon Citation 16a power-amp (2 x 160 Watts RMS).

Kind regards,

I have a pair of L3's and like them a lot! The surrounds are the rubber ones, which don't seem to deteriorate like the foam ones... It sounds like you got a decent deal to me.

Hi folks,

In the meantime i picked up the L3's and now they are connected to my Harman Kardon Citation 16a power amplifier. I think i have to search for the ideal placement in my room, because the L3's sound a bit bass heavy.
I placed them about 45 centimeters from the wal but I think they need more space to sound tight and controlled.
Well, we'll see !

Kind regards,
