I'll drink to that.

Check the date on this thread.

The OP sold his family heirlooms right after posting here and hasn't been around since. That was over eight-months ago. :(

They're a pleasant combination to listen to. I'd open up the port a bit though.

Of course with that cabinet they're probably worth more parted out since the cabinets have little value. You're...

I remember a Nak car system that used a/d/s speakers. For some reason I remember two system carrying the "320i" model name and also a "2002" version (both BMW models). We installed a system in a...

Nice article and photos here: http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/arnold_wolf_industrial_designer_and_former_ceo_of_jbl_passes_away_24816.asp

For posterity, the obit from the local...

Again, thanks for posting these trips down memory lane!

I've owned my L112s since new in 1981 and remember they were well received by both the audio critics and hi-fi dealers at that time. It's...

Fantastic! Thanks again for posting these.

Anyone ever seen one of the personalized engraved plates described in the article (final paragraph)?

Ahh, thanks for indulging me! I love my 550i. We made a lot of good bootleg tapes over the years with the Nak tri-mic system. Great nostalgic trip.

No problem. Wish I could scan them for you.
Perhaps the L112 and the L80T at least would be interesting enough to archive in the LH Library. When you find the time.

Thanks again for the offer.

Did you grab them at the $799 price at which they were listed recently?

Well, since you were kind enough to offer . . .

If you have the opportunity, these are a few I'd love to see (all stuff I have):

June 1986: JBL L-80T speaker

April 1982: Crown FM Two FM...

I don't see how that would happen. Even a klutz installation would be an improvement! Pick your posts and do a proper installation and the sound should never be worse than what you have now....

I resurrected a Soundcraftsmen system that had been laying dormant for years: Pro-Control-Four, Pro-EQ 44, and Pro-Power-Four. I thought this would make a good amp for comparing the L3s to other JBL...

He's still around:

A hi-fi nut in nearby Richmond, VA, listed a pair of L3s for $150. I asked if he'd take $100 to help pay my gas bill getting there and back and he agreed. Went down Tuesday to pick them up. I knew I...

Thanks for the link. Puts a whole new perspective on obsessive compulsion. :blink:

Absolutely amazing!

In a damp environment, I believe I'd prefer to have fiberglass than cotton. I'm in a damp environment. As a motorcyclist of now over 43 years, I've experienced wet denim. Talk about irritating! ;)

My car always seems to run better after it's had a bath, too. ;)

Or cause more!

I'm just a Luddite who has used Crown with JBLs for over four decades. Well before Crown was adopted into the Harman Family. I'm guessing when they're free, the choice would be...

I'm running Coax from my Sony DVD/CD player to a Musical Fidelity DAC and like it. Tried Toslink and just stuck with coax. Maybe I'll take time to make another comparison.

I am running Toslink...

Actually, I see fewer issues with Google Chrome than Firefox, and I used to love Firefox.

IE gave up on Macs years ago, so I gave up on them. Wish I could do the same at work but that's out of my...

I also like the fact that if I order a CD from them, I can listen to it almost immediately in my Cloud Player while I wait for the CD, and usually that's no more expensive than the MP3 download by...

Vinyl like contact paper? On a pair of Infinity speakers I acquired with black vinyl I used Zymol Vinyl, an automotive treatment for dashboards, etc. You could try ArmorAll and the like, or products...

I had the bass player from this duo over to the house two-weeks ago and the smile on his face listening to the 4345s told the story.

I stopped short of playing his album for him though....
