Thanks gferrell
You got a great system there yourself gferrell. I always used to say yah can't go wrong with a good set of JBLs...
A couple of Vids before I did my upgrades:

Will get something up sooner than later with my new upgrades.
These speakers of course harken me back to the day when I sold audio at a (Canadian) Military PX in Lahr, West Germany in the early eighties. We used to have to travel north to the US Bases Like Kaiserslautern (K-Town) to get a JBL fix back then. We only sold the likes of Quad ESL-63, Klipsch (right up to the corner horns), Cerwin Vega (for the young rocker-soldiers) and many many more mid and hi-fi offerings. But it was always the JBLs that kept me begging for more. Being a true west coaster and an old rocker I am loving the true west coast sound of these old L100A (New Gens) with their booming 12 inchers heh heh heh!
Strength in Depth!

Alas how can anyone not love the classic styling of the vintage Ultra Blue Quadrex grill inserts? Yeah, well I just found out wifey absolutely doesn't so folks will soon be able to look for my precious blue grill inserts on ebay shortly, drat - Guess I'll have to order a set of chocalate brown ones now to better match the decor
:-(
What was I thinking?
Much as I loved the blue, I had a set of grey ones made up for my pair ...Originally Posted by Bones
2ch: WiiM Pro; Topping E30 II DAC; Oppo, Acurus RL-11, Acurus A200, JBL Dynamics Project - Offline: L212-TwinStack, VonSchweikert VR-4
7: TIVO, Oppo BDP103D, B&K, 2pr UREI 809A, TF600, JBL B460
They do look awesome in grey as well - I may have just got a reprieve on the blue ones however. It will mean they get ousted from the living room but I just might get a man-cave out of the deal. After much whine with my cheese, CINCHOMEFLEET (aka wifey) is talking like she "may" let me turn our TV room into "my" media room - now I'm really excited and she can have her boring living room back - snicker snicker...
She is still not very excited about the blue (as her least favourite colour). I have temporaily reverted back to the black material inserts until such time as the switcheroo happens :-(
