here i pickup the JBL L300SUMMIT 1976


near my JBL L300SUMMIT 1976 the K2 S5500 are going to feel alone now!

What happened to the pretty pictures?

For those of us not fortunate enough to have seen, much less heard, the S5500-K2, how do your two systems compare? :dont-know

just problem with display ..actualy ok ?

K2 are the clearest to hear more separation but appears less homogeneous than L300SUMMIT,
requires a fairly powerful amp in case a KRELL of 2X600Watts
I do not know more, I did heard that 5 minutes ...
rush to take my L300 and go!
anyway, I do not like them aesthetically

[speakerdave]

. . . . anyway, I do not like them aesthetically

Yeah, they are a kind of techno-industrial moderne, and I agree with you. One reason, I think for the S9800 and S9900 improvements in visual aspect.

Nice Summits. I listened to a similar speaker, the 4333a for a good while and always enjoyed it. The remaining item to fill in your JBL collection may be a large format 4-way of the 43xx series (4344 or 4344MkII probably the best option).

Nice Summits..

thank you speakerdave i prefer L300 SUMMIT of other 43xx

Visually nice, and sonically, they do have their points.

certainly not perfect, it is impossible ! but the emotional side ..

Good Morning, mm54,

Like you, I do love my JBL L300's!! Yours look very nice, and it's great that you enjoy them to the point that you do, especially when you already have a "more modern" JBL with which to compare the L300's! Also, like you, I do not find some of the more modern JBLs to be asthetically pleasing, whilst I dearly LOVE the look and feel of the L300's. But, each to his/her own, right? Some folks prefer a more modern look, some of us prefer a warm walnut cabinet and TOTL vintage look. What are the small boxes on which you have perched your Summits, if I may ask? I've been planning to raise ours up a bit, too, and after seeing yours setup that way, will definitely get to it. Thanks for the inspiration, and have fun with your wonderful JBL L300 Summits!! Take care, and God Bless!

Every Good Wish,
Doc

Looks to me like the attached plinth is taller than original, too. What do you L300 owners think? Cute little boxes look like a nice shipping containers or presentation cases for some quality object. Whatever it takes to get the 077 up to ear level.

Would tilting the cabinets back give the tweeters higher projection paths?

Hey, BMWCCA,

Yep, I noticed that taller plinth, too. Looks nice. Regis had some new plinths made, of solid wood, for our L300's, and we like it. But, I am definitely going to raise the cabinets up on something higher, too. I don't want to use congrete blocks, as that reminds me too much of my "home-made furniture" during my college days! But, I do like the idea of using some 4x4's, or even something larger, to make a nice solid foundation on which to perch the L300's. I totally agree that the 077's need to be a bit higher, and the mid's, too. In your "new" 4-ways, how high does the 077 reside from the floor? Take care, and God Bless!

Every Good Wish,
Doc

[BMWCCA]

In your "new" 4-ways, how high does the 077 reside from the floor?

About 37-1/2" to the UHF center. On the L7s it's 42" not including the base, and that one is on the tilted part of the baffle, too! Seems like the built-in tilt of the L300 should give it an advantage, as midlife touched on, but when I was discussing my apprehension for bringing something so huge into my home, the previous owner of the 4345s reminded me that many L300 and 4333 owners elevated their systems anyway and the 4345's height made that unnecessary. To my ears, when I'm sitting on the couch, he was right! Just enjoyed the movie "Iron Man" with my youngest tonight and it was very cool over the big speakers. Made that "big" 27" CRT TV seem much too small!
