    I liked them for years. They are great if you like thumping bass. The price you paid isn't bad and you could always make money if the cabinets and drivers are in good shape. I personaly do not like them anymore as I have listened to other JBLs and my listening tastes have changed over the years. I would rather listen to a pair of 4311s or 4312s than those. It is a matter of opinion but I think most people here would agree, for what those go for there are many other models of JBLs that will sound much better and have more range. Now that's just an opinion from the cheap seats.

    Angel:

    You came to the right place for an "opinion" on anything JBL. I'm suprised there aren't about 100 responses. But, I guess the recent debate over L100's has shyed a few people away.

    Personally, I have never heard a set of L200's. However, I listened to other JBL systems with "like" components. I would have to agree with Audiobeer's opinion. Dynamic range could be lacking on the L200's. Down the road you may want to add an 077/2405 with an N8000 crossover and go 3-way. JMHO.

    Good Luck!

    For classic rock......or if you have those setting on a wood floor (Wood joyces) and not a slab floor, they will really kick some butt for Home theater also!

    The L200B is very similar to the L300 but without the high frequency extension. I quite like them.

    The original L200A was the quintessential boom box. It was purposely designed to be a "rock" speaker, or at least what Marketing thought a "rock" speaker should sound like. To Audiobeer, I'm wondering if your impressions of the L200 aren't based on that version.

    The "B" version was a complete redesign by Greg Timbers to be the home equivalent of the 4330 monitor. The underdamped LE15B was replaced with the much more accurate 136A and the cross-over was tuned specifically for this system. It is significantly better than the L200A.

    I would go with JBL Dog's advice and see if you can't find a pair of 077's and N8000's. Adding these will effectively turn the system into an L300 which is very well regarded in these parts.
    Regards

    If i do go that route do i just get the tweeters and the crossovers and make a small enclosure for the tweeters and mount them on the tops i hate to make holes on these
