Another difference between the L200B and the L300 was that the L300 used the HL92 horn, while the L200B used the shorter HL91 horn.

No, Angel, I think we agree it would sound better with the UHF and appropriate crossover.
And, that 901 challenge is simply nonesense. That, my friend, is JBL Envy (or deafness...), plain and simple!
I'm about to repeat a joke Widget told me (I think...): James B. Lansing met Bose in a hallway, and Bose cupped his mouth and said "hello, how are you...?", to which James B. turned to the wall and said "fine, and you...?"...

"Indeed, not!!"
i told hom no highs no lows just bose and to keep his 18 midrange drivers away from me
that was funny i think the bose guy brain is like this
Bose 901's my L100's could kill them.
Some people just like them. I know a few. They think I'm nuts Why bother with those things when you can have it all from my Bose system!!! Poor misguided souls.
Hello Angel
Those a real nice speakers! Like Don said you have the right version. Enjoy them
Sorry Bo had to get them in somewhere,

I'm not going to Bose Bash.......to many to do it for Me. I never did get the 901s.....I owned a pair and set them up with the equalizer....everything, all the experimenting and placement, Just never got it?
Hello Audiobeer
I used to go to a bar that used them for the DJ's music. They were not horrible but they sure were power hungry. They had a Dynaco ST-400 which had a user selectable soft limit feature it went like this 20 watts 40 watts 60 watts and I think 80 watts was the last one. They had them set up at 60 and the lights were on. It was a small bar about the size my friend did DJ work in. I lent him my ST400 when his amp was down one night. He had the "wrong" version of the L200 as his DJ speakers. We set the limiter on 20 to see if we could light it. Forget it!! We could get it to flicker but it was way too loud and those 901's could not compare even to that version.

The rhythym guitar player in my band (also owns BlueCornMusic.com, an indie label) loved his 501's and 901's 'till he started "listening around". Seems he contracted a JTD (JBL Transmitted Disease..) and now has a pair of 4313B's (thanks, Audiobeer!) supporting his mix-down room. Nice...
We are spreading the word, my friends...

I have to admit, I do have a Bose surround system in the Family room. It isn't that bad of a set-up. The sub is weak. I'm considering getting one of the powered JBL consumer rigs to replace it.Originally posted by Audiobeer

Now, the 901's. I will take my place in line behind the rest of you with a 38 ounce baseball bat and wait my turn to take a swing at whatever's left. Arguably the most overrated speaker EVER!!
I'm with you, Audiobeer. I don't get it either!!

Angelo,
Nice catch, keepem and enjoy.
The Maggies are a nice boxeless sound but the are colored to the extend of rather limited transients beyond the capacity of the panels, hence you JBL may sound crisper in dynamics.
I'm sure your tubed Fisher is a fine amp for these Jbls.
If you wish to butter your shortbread, consider enhancing the design with some non permanent tweeks like damping the horn with sorbathane and 1/4 inch open cell foam under the acoustic lense, and if you are keen upgrade the crossover with some Audiocaps, even re diaphrapm the driver

I can piss louder than Maggies.
Ian,
Have you listened to horn and lense dampened this way. What did you think?

Not yet..shortly
