Just noticed something while browsing various bits on interesting information on the Lansing Heritage website... The L100 is shown in the original catalogue illustrations with the low-frequency speaker at the top. This is, of course quite the opposite to what we see in 2004/5, and how they are presented in the Project May "Raffle" illustration, where the L100s are presented with woofer at the bottom.
Maybe it doesn't matter which way is up - but does anyone know what JBL had in mind orientation-wise for the L100? To my way of thinking a lot of the higher frequencies would be lost if the tweeter was close to the floor. Am I wrong?
Of course the L100 is designated a bookshelf speaker, so maybe it should go sideways!!! - and not on the floor at all...
