    Thumbs up Hello... This site is Awesome!!

    I am new to this site and have already gathered that a lot of you guys are into the "big stuff". I'm still into the L Series so I hope that's ok. I have a small collection that just seems to continue to grow... maybe in time I understand enough about the "big stuff" to make the jump. For now I'll introduce myself as L88P and list the members of my JBL family. I hope to post the family photo's soon! Glad to be a part of this wonderful web site! Thanks...

    The kids

    L100 (Ingrid)
    L166 (Ryan)
    L112 (Sean)
    L110 (Trisha)
    L100 (Buster)
    L100 (Jean)

    The L Family...

    Hi!

    So, do you run the siblings together, in a pack, or pairs, or as a gaggle...

    Hoping to see your pics!

    Mostly in packs of 4... and then a couple of pairs. I hoping the wife is going to let me wallpaper this winter with little L's...

    Nice meeting you Bo !

    Sidenote

    L-26's were the first JBL's I ever blewup. Ya gotta love Supertramps "Crime of the Century".

    Sounded great just before they went "SMACK!"

    Cabinets from L...

    Well, just be careful what you do - you've got some inter-cabinet phasing issues you might wanna 'speriment with.

    I'm not an expert on "your Family from L", but from the tech sheets kindly supplied by The One Giskard, here's what I gleaned:

    L100
    LF = (-)
    MF = (-)
    HF = (-)

    L100A
    LF = (+)
    MF = (-)
    HF = (+)

    L100A (Late Model)
    LF = (+)
    MF = (-)
    HF = (+)

    L110
    LF = (-)
    MF = (+)
    HF = (-)
    (this is the more common JBL phasing - with LF being (-) )

    L110A
    LF = (-)
    MF = (+)
    HF = (-)

    L112 - II
    LF = (-)
    MF = (+)
    HF = (-)

    L166/L166A
    LF = (-)
    MF = (-)
    HF = (-)

    What's the point - you ask? If you are pairing or grouping cabinets where like drivers are oppositely phased, you will get cancelling (rather than doubling). Say you walled the family room with the L112 and L166 - the MF's would be cancelling, providing a very different sound experience than walling with say, the L110's and L112 (they are phased alike).

    Ha! If you paired the L100A's with the L110 or L112's, you wouldn't hear anything! Perfect!

    Hi Ken... Thanks for the Welcome! Yep that's a classic. I always love the little L26. I just sold them to a guy who owns a Roadster shop in Arizona. I'll have to ask him where he's planning to use them.

    see ya,

    Roger

    Hi Guido,

    Thanks for the welcome... Ditto. My JBL maddness began in W. Germany back in 77. I've been able to supress this for a number of years but I'm afraid it's back and I might not be able to stop... cause now Bo and the "One" have me thinking about where this is all going... I saw a women in a bar Saturday night with an orange JBL tatoo... um!

    Anyway, I'm posting a photo of my system as it was back in W. Germany back in 77. I've still running it... minus the orange grills.

    Roger
