I have JBL L110A and like them so much, but noticed that the above mentioned L100, L26, L19A speakers have a slightly more high tones when reproducing music. Do these speakers sound bright, and the L110A sounds neutral as I read in some threads and that is the reason?
PS:
Everything is OK with the drivers and crossovers in L110A, they measured well and they are in mint condition.
Hi Vrobec,
I think you are right. I had a pair of the two-way L26 around mid 70's. What i got from these speakers was mostly bass and treble (less mid), both somewhat exagerated, the west coast sound of the time.
The little cone tweeter on L26 wasn't a master of detail/finesse, highs sounded a little peaky. The three-way L110A having a mid and a dome tweeter, which probably goes higher in the spectrum than the cone tweeter did, plus having increased sound dispersion in the room, had to be a better balanced speaker than the L26. Regards,
Richard
I have the L110 (not "a") and they are very nice sounding speakers as are the L19. I was going to buy a pair of L26 from a guy and he happened to have a pair of L77 hooked up. A-B ing them, I preferred the L77 because I thought the L26 sounded too bright.Quote:

The L-26 has a HF adjustment pot. I had L77's and thought they were dull & lifeless..Quote:

My L77's were professionally re-foamed, they sound really good with my Dynaco ST70, not so good with my Marantz 1200Quote:

Does this means it's an L110A?Quote:

I'm just going by memory, I know for certain my L110's have alnico magnets on the woofers but I can't recall the exact model number.
Please let me know what cloth color JBL used on L110A grilles?. Asking this because I have darker brownish cloth and don't know are these genuine or not.

To me, the brown you have looks like original.
See more info here
Yes, thanks for the info. By the way I just found in the L110A manual. The available grilles are: brown, blue or transparent black. :applaud:Quote:
