somewhere on this site is someone (JohnW? ) who made a 2 box solution out of L7's.

square box w/front LF and the smaller top portion sitting atop it.

Really looked very good. ;)

I was doing the "center channel shuffle" for a while , went thru 5 or 6 (including low/mid line JBL's) .... none ever quite right.

then, at a flea market I ran across one of these DefTech's .
...

I have a CL505.

some here say "ok , it matches the L series style but doesn't match acoustically"

never stopped me. ;) ..it was OK, not great ...been replaced in my sys with better.

we had 1962 UH-1b's in '70 after USA declared them unsafe.

Here's a driver with SKILLS :D

I've never heard the L1 , but another great sounding small 2 way is the L16/L19 ...they punch way above their weight class, and many times are under $120

sheesh ..they are 1990ish vintage ....21 years old ....foams are generally estimated at a lifespan of 12-15 years...that exposed lip is too small..and there is maybe another slit just to the...

Oh sorry ..... I thot you wanted the serious / correct answer..:crying:

in that case .... just dump a couple of tubes of superglue all over it ,

nice try..

as I read it somewhere, he had a pair BEFORE they were available in black ,
but seem to recall that GT had a pair in WHITE ?

I looked around and couldn't find a pic of Sidney posing with his L7's ...sorry :p

(courtesy HJ)

yup...the reduced quality pic doesnt show it well, but the AR veneer is as good or better than the 70's JBL's (unlike the spaghetti wood/charred ash eras of the 80's/90's JBL's) ...OTOH , almost...

yeah, you're right ......(as always :rotfl::rotfl: )...L7'always remind me of
those "remnants of a forest fire" pix..you know, the charred stub of a tree
(still standing and smoking).

I HAD L7's, they were fine, no real complaints except their looks....got them at a bargain price and was confronted with a trade that was irresistible. No regrets in their loss.

replaced them with...
