Hi all

I've been running my L65As with a Bryston 2BSST power amp, which somehow feels emotionally wrong. Don't get me wrong, the combo sounds great, but part of me knows that they don't look right...

Oh, the bass!
:D

Don't worry, I'm sure there won't be any need for that - I spent hours listening to it yesterday when I should have been working!
:rockon2:

Right, I've been listening all afternoon to this Perreaux 200P that the seller was kind enough to bring over so I could hear it in my system and in my room. The seller was very interested in my L65s...

Thanks for your input, Regis (and the PM).

This whole damping issue is starting to confuse me. I always assumed that for larger bass drivers (12" +) you needed a good high damping factor to...

I actually started a new thread about amps here.
:)

Thanks for the suggestions.

Does anyone have any recent Perreaux experience? It seems they transformed themselves from a Pro outfit in the 80s into a home-audio company in the 00s. I wonder if...

Don't worry, no flames from me, just a refusal to change my preamp. :D

And a reminder that changing the amp from Bryston to B&K made a very significant difference in my system.

Oh, and the...

Rather than continue over in the other thread about upgrading from L65s, I thought I would start a new thread about amplification.

Basically, I've been running my L65As for a while with a Bryston...

I have just been reminded that, at low volumes, the B&K operates in class A.
This may have something to do with the delicious sound at low volumes?

Consequently I am now eyeing up a Plinius amp....

Funnily enough, a Perreaux 200P was advertised yesterday near me here in Portugal...

:hmm:

Well, this seems to have been a large step in the right direction. With the B&K ST140 driving the Jubals, the sound is now warm and full even at low volumes and the piercing and fatiguing highs have...

I know what you mean, Rolf.
I was listening last night and was really enjoying their presentation but I was playing fairly loud. I find that when I turn them down to levels that my neighbours...

On stands, on spikes, on granite plinths. Total height is 44cm.

Driving Jubals? Has it got enough grunt to keep a grip on those 12 inchers?

Hmmm, the Jubals are sounding excellent tonight. I hope the neighbours are out...

Maybe an amplifier change to something warmer would solve my low-volume issues?

What on earth did I think I was doing, suggesting "other" brands of speaker on the Lansing Heritage forum!

Seriously, though, I appreciate all the suggestions. Finding some of these classic JBL...

Hi everybody

I have a pair of JBL L65As that I run with a Bryston 2BSST. While they definitely make a "fun" sound, especially when you turn them up a bit, I find myself constantly tweaking the...

I'm running my L65A's with a Bryston 2B-SST and they sound great.

Other settings:
- ports plugged (to reduce boominess in my laminate-floored room)
- raised about a foot off the floor (same...

Resurrecting this old thread as I'm looking at making some stands for my L65As.
Google brought up this thread with some great pictures of some stand options.
I particularly like the low tilted ones...

I'm just resurrecting this thread to say thank you!

I picked up a pair of L65A's locally which had the white 123A bass drivers. I've been pretty happy with the sound, apart from a feeling that the...
