". . . as you have no doubt noticed, no one told the 4345 that it can't work correctly so it does anyway."—Greg Timbers
You know, I've owned my L7's for around 26 years. I've never had an issue with how they sound **however** I have either had them in a room where I could not listen to them like they were meant to be listened too, or I had them in a decent enough room. That being said NOTHING and I mean NOTHING prepared me for the sound that is coming out of them after putting them in a room and tuning the room. I have a friend who's an audio engineer and he flew into Fargo and spent a couple of days at our house helping me set up the room and showing me how he tunes a room. The sound is unlike anything I have ever experienced.
I am also driving them with a LOT of power which makes the sound easy and free with no compression, none, nada, nothing............ even at a sustained 115-117 db at the listening position.
I just scored a nice clean pair of L3. Should have them next week. In the meantime I'm trying to find the schematic for the crossover. I've been looking off and on for a week now. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
About 2 years ago I sold my L80T that I recapped with Sonicaps and have regretted it very much. I also let my L20Ts go. So needless to say I'm very happy to have some JBLs in the house again. They will give my vintage Polks some company.
I'd just like to find out the values of the caps, resistors and inductors. Not sure I will mess with the inductors but want to put new caps and resistors in.
Thanks for any guidance!

Great thread w tons of information! Goes back over 15 years. Thanks to all who contributed. And with the support and most recent input from those who served...Can't do any better than that.
FYI - I recently signed in as new member-site did not recognize my username or email. Did find old posts I submitted at least as far back as 2005. Computers and forums are NOT my area of expertise...
Wife watching TV in an area and not happy with acoustics. Started talking soundbar after being at friends house. May be a great option for some but prompted me to look at components in storage. Pulled out pair L 5's and binge read thread last night.
Questions:
1) Is the CL 505 still best option for center speaker with these L 5's? Found two on Evil Bay and 2 more various audio sites.
2) Are parts for CL 505 still available ? They are 25 y/o now and subject to deterioration like anything else. I recently had my 4301 B's drivers redone by a local JBL specialist. Always says he can repair anything 'if I can get the parts'.
Thanks again for all the info I've gotten over the years.
