JBL info needed 125A?

[Mike Bama]

Newbie here, and I hope I am in the correct forum, and the pics are OK..

I just picked up a pair of JBL's pretty cheap. They need surrounds, of course, but the cabinets are in surprisingly good shape. They have no badges on them anywhere, with the exception of one JBL grill badge. They have brown cloth on the grills.
Thanks, Mike

They are model L26 if that helps

So I take it, they are pretty decent speakers?

YES i think so JBL made very few bad speakers. They utilize 125A woofers LE25-2 tweeters. If you do a search on them here, you will find out almost anything you need to know. REGARDS JIM

Jim,
Sorry for the confusion. I knew they were good, and it appears they were well worth the $35 I paid. This is my first set of JBL's. I have 2 pair of Pioneer HPM 100's, (one pair I purchased new in the 70's. Passed on a set of JBL 100's back then), some Advents, AR's, and a pair of KLH 17's. I plan to refoam the JBL's, and use them with a Harmon Kardon A50K 25wpc tube amp, I use to listen to vinyl. I think the JBL's and the HK will go nice together.

Thanks for the info,
Mike

The tweeter is an LE25-4

The tweeter is an LE25-4

You sure? i thought the L26 decade used LE25-2 and the L26A decade used LE25-4 Tweeters. oh well its kinda hard to see exactly what he has there other than some version of a L26

Yup, they're nice little speakers. Pretty much the same configuration as my 4301BE's. If you pay a professional to do the work, you're looking at $40 to $65 per speaker to do new surrounds and dust caps.
