JBL L 9000

[BMWCCA]

I'd own a lot of JBL speaker's, so has a lot of "know how":
L2000 (Made in Denmark)

The 050TI titanium tweeter sounds sometimes "to much". a little more softness pleace :-)

Just curious; what does an L2000 look like? I believe you compared it to an L20t at some point? Sorry, that photo is a bit fuzzy. Is the port on the back? Same tweeter as the L100? What's the woofer? 704G? 705G?

Do you suppose a foam "diffuser" of some kind hidden in the grille cloth would tame the 050Ti? I assume there is no pot to control the crossover ("brilliance"} on the Danish L100/L9000, just like the 4412A?

Very interesting series. Gives me yet another reason to ask what the hell is JBL marketing in the USA thinking? "They underestimate the demand for such models in this market," he said self-centeredly! It can't be cheap to produce that stuff in Denmark, either. Do the components say "made in USA"?

Thanks for sharing.

There is no pot to control the crossover like "brilliance", so good idea to tame the 050TI :-)

All drivers is produced in USA. Only the cabinets was manufacted in Denmark.

You are right, this L-series, woud be a great succes, why not re-produce them?

The JBL factory in Denmark closed 6 years ago.. The last Serie was The TIK-series. (Great and real beautiful speakers)

JBL wanted to make "consumer-speakers" in the east.. (China etc...)

My point of view: Sadly the only real JBL speakers manufacted now, is the ones from USA (K2 and Arreay + the proffesional speakers.)

The crap from the east is not real JBL!

Makes it similar to an L1. Seems like all the L5s and L7s running around here would be worth three times as much parted out. Very sad.

Thanks for sharing.

What's the sound-diffrence between midrage 704G and 705H?

I know that 705H has 30 mm. edgewound voice coil and the 704G only has 25 mm. voice coil.

Does the 704G sound more softly or?
