is this? Looks like one of these 70s japanese 6 way speakers.
The top tweeter is a mylar dome unit that operates *above* 20khz ?!?!Originally Posted by Guido
Are we making sure the rodents in the house can hear the proper overtones in a cymbal ?

Sorry, those don't look bad to me and I'd guess that series would make a decent sounding mid-level HT system.
For me they are just ugly
Fugly.
Looks aren't everything...look at me.
Fugly they may be, but given a chance I'd still listen to them to see what discernible effect that extra driver might have.
I know there's a sense among some members that current JBL stuff is crap or mostly crap, especially compared to the classic designs of the past. I'm not one of those members, though I love the old stuff, too.
JBL/Harman has some of the brightest engineers and designers anywhere working on speaker design and development. They work in a world-class facility. Some of them have a legacy track record that exceeds anything that virtually any other speaker designer has done.
So while I'll concede that any product, JBL included, could be crap, more focused on marketing pressures than audio necessity, I can't verify that until I hear it. I just might learn something I didn't anticipate.
AND...
People who take the time to get to know me usually find I'm not the piece of crap they thought I was.
Out.
So are you guys saying that my JBL S26 speakers suck compaired the old JBL speakers? Since my speakers weren't cheap you know.
Technicaly the Studio L Series is a set up on the orginal Studio Series so if you guys say that the current speaker line is bad then you guys are saying that my JBL S26 sucks too since it's not old as the L100 or so.
Velociraptor - I believe the only way you can come to any valid conclusions is if you find someone with some of these different "older" speakers and judge for yourself. While I have no doubt the S26 probably sounds substantially better than many other speakers in the same price range, most people here are happy enough with their current speakers that they haven't felt the need to compare them with something like the S26.
I don't know who on the forum might be in your area, but you really need to get out and hear some other JBL's. Anyone's speakers are going to sound "best" to them if they haven't heard anything else...

No, it's L100's that suck, actually....
[I recall it was YOU who said your S26's suck....]

I wipe mine. How about you?

I talked to JBL tech support alot and they do say that the Studio L Series are really alike to the orginal Studio Series since the components are really alike like example the Polyplas woofers and pure titanium dome tweeters with EOS waveguide so forth. Just the biggest difference is that the Studio L Series have that horn on the top that makes the highs go higher then 20kHz. But they did say that both series sound very alike so that's good. I sure glad that I got the S26 instead of the N26 or N38 or something like that LOL. Since my S26 are very close to the JBL L830 only difference as I said before was that the L830 has that horn that makes the speakers go higher than 20kHz.
This is NOT aimed at the forumites outside the US or non-native english langauge members. I think there should be an english and grammer/punctuation test before being allowed to post. I'm soooo tired of wasting my time trying to decipher alot of these writings. I'm sure I'm not alone in my opinion. ALL forums are written communications....please take the time to learn how to write. Unfortunately....this is a byproduct of the computer age.
Thanks for reading my vent.
