It seems like the 4311's , 4310's and L100's are in the background of more old studio photos than any other JBL. Keith Richards actually mentions JBL speakers a couple of times in his book.

I would bet that a lot of JBL customers in the 60's and 70's were not rock fans. The alternative to JBL and the other "high efficiency" speaker companies back then were speakers that were pretty...
Maybe it's a matter of prefering a 3 way over a 4 way. I too have found that some times I like the the older 3 ways better. Maybe the L220 would be a good speaker for you to try.

I had one about 14 years ago and at the time thought it sounded good for a very early solid state piece. It was also quiet with no background hiss. Of course they are quite valuable as a collector's...
The older JBL systems were almost always designed with dynamic range as a priority and you might be surprised to find that many of them have greater dynamic capabilities than modern speakers. They...
The L65's are one of my favorite JBL's and they sound ok to good but the L110's sound excellent in my opinion.

The Ti series were really purist speakers that can be a little boring sounding until you get used to them and or appreciate what they do. I think the 240Ti would be a little more user friendly than ...
Someone's coming to pick my L150's up tomorrow and all can say is that the longer I owned them the more they grew on me; to the point that I kind of hate to see them go. They need a good amp with...
From my experience when a seller insists on being made an offer that seller isn't even serious about selling his item. In these situations I usually tell the seller that if he doesn't know how much...
What I was saying was that some of the old systems that are so highly regarded for old Jazz listening by some (especially in Japan) to put it simply don't really sound that good. The 4311 sounds...
Your 4311's are probably a better speaker for listening to jazz than some of the speakers people have recommended to you.

The biggest obstacles in enjoying your 250Ti's will be getting used to their lack of coloration, placing them in the right room, and finding the right amp and preamp for them; not that any one of...
I feel pretty sure they never actually sold any of these and started selling the L65 jubal instead.
Mike
When they came out Audio Magazine reviewed the 610's and basically said they were shockingly good for an inexpensive speaker. I think they even said that they were the least expensive speaker that...
Buying a pair of L65 cabinets on Ebay is a risk because it is very likely that they will be damaged at least a little in shipment. That is a nice looking pair though.
Mike
I've noticed that some of the commercial furniture polishes that can muddy up the contrasts in the grain over time. The teak veneer of the the Ti series is even more susceptible to being changed by...
You are probably right.
Mike
I would think that they are all probably comparable but the later ones would have tighter bass. As far as value goes I agree with the previous post condition is probably the biggest factor. However...
Wow, that has to be one of the best collections in the world. It looks like he has most of the top vintage Mac and Marantz tube gear and everything from a KLH model eight table radio to LS3/5A's to...
I believe it is three feet. I think the JBL website has an owner's manual specifically for the 250Ti on it. They are one of those speakers that benefit from experimentation with placement and...
That's a really nice pair of L101's; very sought after and collectable.
Mike
They are sought after a little and do sound good. I've always liked finding stuff like the late 60's and early 70's 10, 12 and 14inch two ways as they are usually not that expensive but fun to...
I sort of think that the LE20 sounded a little better but the LE25 would handle more power or take more abuse. The surrounds were different on them.
Mike
Thanks,

I was wondering if anyone knows who sells the correct foam for a pair of 126A woofers out of a pair of L65 Jubals. I want to avoid getting the foam that has a larger roll than the original stuff.
