    Do/did your L-96s get much use? Any driver failures in all that time?

    I`m always on the hunt for all things JBL. In my neck of the woods, the choice is very limited and asking prices ridiculous. It`s not uncommon to see L-100s sell for $1500 and more..

    Hey Phil, its been a while.
    I forgot about the L-80s. They were very nice from what I recall but I didn't keep them very long. As for the L-112, they remain my favorite JBL. I should have hung on...

    As the title says, Im loving my recent acquisition. They`re part of a second system doing mainly FM and streaming, driven by a Marantz 2240. The sound is very well balanced top to bottom and not...

    It seems like the consensus is anything but the Chinese knock offs. There seems to be quite a bit of options to choose from and many would likely be better than the...

    That was a feeble attempt at sarcasm, of course the USA produced quality gear back then and still does.

    This is a tough call to make. The way I figure it whether I go the used or Chinese route for the tweeters plus the foam kit, I`ll be into it for over $300 in parts alone plus a considerable amount of...

    I doubt that these are of a 2004 or even 1996 vintage, nothing was made in the USA in those times :D

    Hey Richard, thanks for the attachment. I believe that those are a later "S" series which are rear ported. I dont know if there are any other differences however. Any idea when these may have been...

    Altec 305

    I came across a pair of Altec model 305 for a price I just couldn't turn down. Do I need another pair of speakers, certainly not but curiosity got the best of me:). Besides, I`ve never had an Altec...

    I meant open circuit. I think I just might open them up and see if it`s something obvious.
    Wow, you still have that preamp?! What about the amp and tuner?

    I recall following your restoration a few years back GoldJazz, nicely done.
    The paint that was applied by JBL turned out to be water based, that was confirmed by a swipe of nail polish remover. I...

    Thanks for that Grumpy. Looks like an 18db HPF at 20hz followed by a +6db bump at 25hz. It appears that the subsonic filter is altering the 25 hz boost but I`m not sure if the non linear slope above...
