JBL L110, L96/4313B

[Inspector34]

Giskard, what are thoughts on the L110? I have a chance to get a pair shipped to me for $300. Would it be better just to wait for a set of L96's?

Sorry Giskard, sorry moderators, I did not know that this needed to be posted somewhere else, what do you need me to do?

The moderators will simply have to move it. No big deal. That's what they are paid to do.

Oh, do tell, Giskard. Care to share your crossover design secrets for the above?

Giskard, what are thoughts on the L110?

I like it. But it's old. The key to thoroughly enjoying the L110 is to love it right from the start and never A/B it with anything newer. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that strategy.

Would it be better just to wait for a set of L96's?

I would.

Roger that. Wil-co.

I read through some of your old posts regarding the L96, it looks like building a modified 3113B network looks like the best way to get some great performance out of the L96's. Will the 066 tweeters be a worthwhile upgrade vs. the 044's?

Personal choice. The 044 is more robust and less prone to physical damage. I think you'll find that an 035Ti will sound better than either, especially if you damp it a bit. It's also cheaper and still serviceable.

I'm merely throwing these considerations out here for people to think about.

L96s for $200.

The 128H offers superior mechanical power handling. It's a great woofer, especially for avoiding excessive warranty claims due to being overdriven. I've personally always preferred the tight and true LE10H and don't require the higher Vd of the 128H or 128H-1.

My one-of-a-kind 110Ti's consist of the LE10H, 104H, and 044Ti.
Try it, it's 8 screws.

This thread should be moved to DIY moderators.

I tried to replace the 128H woofers from my L112 with the 2213H woofers from an old 4312. sound was awful. The 4312 woofers need a 500liter cabinet to loose the 65Hz peak - in my L112 is the port very short, the 65 Hz peak is extrem. A lot of e-bayer offer their L112 with the wrong ( 2213H ) tweeter. The 2213H tweeter in the L100 cabinet is not good, but not so extrem like using in L112.
