Thank you for putting me on to them! I look every few days for listings on them. I was lucky to get this pair for $350.
Well, it's been about two months with this setup and I must admit I don't miss my L300s much anymore! The HSU woofer makes these L5s sound as good as or better than the 2235s in the L300s did. But...
I think this will work out pretty good with the L5s. As soon as you recommended them I wondered what the difference was between the L5 and L7. So I did some research and decided it would not make...
I was so impressed after researching HSU that I bought one! I got the VTF-2 MK5 Subwoofer. Thanks.
Which HSU model do you have?
I bought a Yamaha A-S301 for starters. The L5s sound pretty good, but I miss the bass most from the 2235s I had in the L300s. Especially in this room which has a lot of reflective surfaces along with...
I searched, but no luck. Anyone know where I can get as close to original as possible JBL L5 replacement grill cloth? Thank you. Tom
I had to do a little body work on the side panels of one of my recently purchased L5s and I think I have found the near perfect paint match for those who may be interested. After a little patching up...
Well, here they are. Just took them out the car. Found them in Spring Hill, Florida. They have a few minor cabinet issues so I got them for $350. Thanks guys for all your help. Now I have to find...
Thanks that reinforces my inclination to get a pair. The guy in Jacksonville is hanging tough at $400, but I just agonize over the thought of a seven hour round trip up there on I95! I'm watching...
Thanks! I just knew you'd have the scoop on this. I appreciate it. We'll see what happens.
Thanks guys for all of the great ideas. I'm processing all the options in the middle of furnishing a new house in a new area of the country. I see a guy on Facebook Market Place has some L5s for...
Thanks. I'm trying to upload a picture, but I keep getting error messages. I'll keep trying. Tom Size matters
I recently downsized from my 5,000 sf home in Virginia to a less than 2,000 sf home in Florida. There was no way JBL L300s will fit in this small home so I reluctantly gave them to my son-in-law. My...
plumb crazy!
I don't know of anybody that knows more about applying veneer than these people: https://www.oakwoodveneer.com/
Excellent work!

Wow! That's a lot of work! It shows your love for JBL. The originals are cast aluminum.
The most informed source I have ever found is Oakwood Veneer Company in Troy, Michigan. They have a wealth of information online and in videos. Extremely knowledgeable and helpful people....
I'll send you a personal message (PM).

Here are a few more. And I forgot to tell you that the grills are the hardest part!

Here are construction pictures. You can see in one of them the walnut edge piece is installed in the bottom left. It is secured by gluing and screws from the inside of the box that draw it up tight...

This is a crude drawing of the cross section of the 1x2 inch solid walnut edge pieces with the 1 inch radius. The relief groove on the flat side ensures that the narrow lip close to the...
