    what sort of glue would you attach that insulation to whats already there? speaking of, I noted some of the side insulation on my L100T's is hanging partially detached... presumably the same answer, but, what sort of glue would be best?

    Home Depot sells the 3M 45 Spray Adhesive ... I've got some of that from redoing grills for my 4320s couple years back ... should work fine for the fiberglass/polyfiber type insulation ...

    If I was to add the thick pink foam type insulation to reduce the interior space, I'd do a shot of spray adhesive
    AND a sheetrock screw and fender washer to hold it to the inside. Measure carefull so you don't punch through the cabinet!

    SO - I had them all summer, couldn't sell them in the DC market, so - its time to box them up and ship them off!

    Just came home with $80 worth of tape, foam, and boxes!
    the pink foam comes in 2 x 8 foot sheets (can't fit the 4 x 8 footers in my CRV!) - so tape two pieces for a full size sheet, and start cutting out 16" wide strips

    I hope you've got something solid underneath that foam and your knife! Or are you just scoring and snapping?

    So, who's the lucky new owner?

    Lucky you! Great speakers. I don't know why someone hadn't scooped them up already.

    I think the L100T/3 is a better choice than others you seemed to be considering. What are you listening to now?

    Agreed! Up here in Canada we don't always have the variety to choose from so I was looking at what was available. However fortune smiled on me and Heather agreed to send these my way.

    I have been listening to 4410's.

    I had been watching those for awhile.

    I have a habit of buying Heathers old stuff but I have 2 sets in the house and one on semi-permanent loan to a pal. I think the L100T and especially the L100T3 were some of the best non pro oriented JBL ever sold.

    I think the new owner will be pleased.

    Now if Customs will be kind, and not remove all the foam packing I am carefully building for these, we will both be happy with the outcome!

    Anyway, with luck I'll get this done over the holidays and have it ready to ship after work Tuesday. I'm going to try this UPS White Glove treatment I read about on AKarma recently - for an extra fee its basically handled better than the usual box tossing chimps approach ... Anyway, I'll see if its even available for US -> Canada shipping.

    Edit - after 5PM
    Had a chance to cut some more stiff foam after work, and start wrapping one of the speakers - 1 inch foam all around, with a 2 inch layer over the drivers - a small hole cut out of the first layer over the TI screen, so it doesn't get mashed.
    Next I need to do the same for the other speaker, then get them (each) into a doublewall cardboard box - but this seems pretty rugged to start with.

    Insure them for a high amount

    A fiend of mine that had his own business, would insure things for double what they were worth. UPS would take extra care so they didn't have to pay insurance claims.

    I bought a bunch of hi-fi stuff from Canada. It was packed nicely in foam, and sent through the Canadian Post. It arrived untouched, unopened, and was delivered to my door in fine shape by my local post office. Weird. Hope it works as well in reverse!

    A pair of T3 just sold here for $100 off CL. I was really tempted but too many speakers. They needed foam and little else from what I could tell.

    That was a pretty funny line, Heather...and so true. I got a good belly laugh out of it.
