At 34 years of age, I remember that around 1982/83? I had
mowed lawns all summer to save up to buy a car. But one day a neighbor gave me
a
nice receiver from his basement, now a
vintage Pioneer, but I needed speakers. I went to the local Hi-Fi
store and bought a pair of Yamaha's, I didn't like them, they
exchanged for a pair of Klipsch speakers. Still, my young ears
weren't satisfied and these speakers seemed a little brittle and
weak. I went back, sure they'd be upset with me. I settled(?) on
a pair of JBL L46's which I still have and begun the obsession.
My mother asked me how I'd get to school on those, my bike
sufficed for another year.

I have been using your L101 speakers daily since 1973 and
continue to be thrilled by their performance. Although I have
upgraded all other components in the past 30 years to high end
products, I have not heard a speaker I prefer to them.
Recently,Paul Messinger reported in Stereophile that the JBL
S9800 with beryllium drivers will be availble in the US
Marketplace (as opposed to their current availability in Japan).
I would certainly consider their purchase. Please send
information

Great site! I would like to see photos and literature on type
c36 enclosures with jbl model n2600 frequency level control and
mfg. dates These are the second pair I have been fortunate
enough to find. They sound great, are very efficient with
various power sources At 8 ohms, though the terminals are for 16
or 32 ohms. Thanks to those who can help. Dan andersen

Just found this site,man have you guys answered a ton of my
questions surrounding the 604-8G's I found in a dumpster 18
years ago. They are currently teamed with a pair of #18 cabinets
and N804 x-overs. Driven with an Adcom GFA-555, they just plain
kick ass!

Hi, Don; I just happened to buy an ALTEC 6041, just around
the year end. I settled them at my Summer House. During the New
year vacation, I enjoyed their first voice. It can not only be
used through a builtin network but also by direct connection
with multi-channel eloctronic crossover. I am looking forward to
taming these as my favorite speaker. They were sold just below
$2,500, a good buy.

Being young and British I'd only really heard of JBL untill I
got a job at a conference centre which still has akk it's stock
dating back to the mid 60's. Hunting around one day I came
across some Altec 1233's in a store and decided to fire them up
and much to my surprise they sounded outstanding my mananger
then decided he wanted to sell them so after some hunting on the
internet I came across this fantastic site and I've now spent
the whole day rivetted to the seat! I still haven't been able to
find anyhting in the models I found so If anyone has any info it
woul dbe much appreciated cheers!!

Wow, I have been waiting for DSL for some time and my wait
has paid off. I've been building loudspeakers for over 15 years
now and have come to understand basic, and complex, driver
compliment, crossover design and enclosure design. I also do
home theater consulting on the side, away from my profession as
a physical therapist. I look forward to researching your
extensive website, as I intend to incorporate your experience
and knowledge into my own desings. PERHAPS I CAN BE FORTUNATE TO
OPEN DIALOGUE AND,OR, RECIEVE A PERSONILZED RESPONSE FROM YOU OR
YOUR STAFF! HAPPY 100th ANNIVARSARY!!! Most humbly, Zachary

Musician user of JBL products since 1977. JBL, it's like
HAMMOND organ, unrivalled, concepted for sound performances on
stage,recording studio, cinema, theatre, great concets shows,
and so directly descended from professional technology, and
cleverness, knowledge of technical supremacy. JBL is really a
real manufacturer,not an gatherer, all JBL products are made
entirely by JBL, a power! JBL is at the origin of high fidelity,
and at the origin of great discoveries in the world of sound.
For me, JBL is the world greatest loudspeakers and sound systems
manufacturer, with the greatest experience since more than 70
years of research. today JBL more than ever is an innvator, and
what do competitors? unfair competition they make copy! EON
speaker for exemple, 4530, 4520, in the 70's have been copied
all over the world, cabinets sometime with JBL speakers in ! The
original still will stay the best. JBL the greatest name in
audio applications.

As former Distributor for JBL Prof.Line in Brasil (in the
70's) I think this Site is remarkable and brings back a lot of
memories.Specially at the Glendale Plant with Walter Dick in
Engineering and Wetzig and all other nice people.
Congratulations. I should print this entire site and leave it
for my Son (now an Architiect and Acoustician)

I'm 46 years and since 1977, I use JBL only because it's the
best. JBL makes all and with 70 years of experience and great
discoveries in technicals research, JBL has still been the great
manufacturer all over the world. I know what i tell, because I'm
so a jazz player on Hammond Organ B3. All my Leslie cabinet have
JBL speakers. I never had a plush with JBL. I still use so E155
since 1985 in bass, what a great sound!! I would like JBL more
present in FRANCE.

I will always remember seeing the Paragon at the HiFi show in
a hotel in Washington, DC with my dad in either 1957 or 1958.
They were playing music performed by George Wright on the
Wurlitzer Organ. I was very impressed. I would have been 9 or 10
years old. I remembered the Paragon and searched eBay, only to
find them there from time to time. I wish that I were rich
enough to own one. They are truly a classic. Thank you.

the Altec model 1220 console. I found the site using AOL search.
I would like to find other information about the 1220. I will be

Brings back my teen years (1960s) listening to a homemade
speaker cabinet system composed of various Lansing drivers,15"
driver in a folded horn configuration, Mid and High frequency
horns, using homemade push-pull 10 watt per channel tube
amplifiers with a Thorens 33 1/3 belt driven turntable. My
friends thought I was an eccentric person even as a teen. Most
of my friends had portable Hi-Fi or stereo systems with early
transistor intergrated amps/turner am only and a funky turntable
(Record Player)that played 45s and 33 1/3 records. There systems
looked much like suitcases that sounded tinny and boxie! Thus my
elabroate (to me anyway) Stereo system (All Vacuum Tubes) amps,
FM Turner with seperate multiplex adapter (Good Grief Don! FM!
What's wrong with AM?). And no 45 rpm disc, just 33 1/3 albums,
classical, Jazz, Big Bands, What wonderful times I had enjoying
music on my homemade system. And what I really remember the most
and miss them terrably even today, was my homemade speaker
cabinet system composed of various Lansing drivers,15" driver in
a folded horn configuration with Mid and High frequency horns.
Today I have some great homemade sub-woofers enclosures 15"
drivers (3 each) and very nice Polk Monitor RTA12Cs all driven
by 5 Parasound Ultra High Current Amps. Nice system but I would
trade this system in for my old system without blinking. It was
very different / somewhat mechanical or industrial /
analog...BUT I LOVED THEM. Thanks so much for your wonderful
site. Those early Hi-Fi engineers designed and pioneered great
equipment. Thanks Again. Regards: Don Scheer

Stumbled across your website while looking for parts for my Marantz. I have a
pair of L65's I bought when I was in college, and selling audio part time. I
sold the JBL line from '78 to '80, and enjoyed listening to all of them in the
sound room.

I've enjoyed your speaker products for over 40 years, and had much Altec
equipment at our recording studio, and in my home studio. Thank you for your
consistency. The only other product as reliable for matching sound is my
Auratone monitors.

I used to own a pair of C60 Soveriegn I S8R's with graphic controller and
energizer and have missed their sound and dynamic power for a long time. I've
listened to many speakers costing tens of thousands of dollars and have yet to
find much in today's so-called high-end audio that can compete with 30 to
40-year old JBL flagship systems like the Paragon, Hartsfield and Soveriegns!
I
am looking to build my own system using 2226, 2450 and 2402 JBL Pro drivers
with
Dr. Bruce Edgar's Tractrix horns and bi-amplification. I know this site will
be
a wealth of useful information. Thanks

Just passing by to check on what was the cause of some of the commotion over
the live-audio community.
I have no comment on this site due to my slightly different interest in a
slightly different areas of sound. However, I found it this site interesting
and
only wish to have more time to spend with my stereo system, alas!
Respectfully,
Mathew Nguyen

Your Site is very good and informative , till 1985 we have and hear Altec /
JBL
Horndriver and woofers
like 414 8a . a lot of People means that Horndriver
is not good for High-End Musicreproduction, but we find that the Driver and
Woofer from Altec are so definite work that mistakes from Amps and Cabel will
be
hearable.our Company built Amp's, Cable's and parts that work's neutrally. for
Informations look at our Homepage.

Hi there!
Your site is great! My luck that I found it. I will recomend it to all my

unfortunatly sold. I regret it very much. I now own a pair of 4333A from 1979.
Best regards
Rolf

I have always been a JBL enthusiast. Being brought up around a pair of L100's
it fueled my love for all types and genera's of music.
This is by all means the best JBL site out there. I have been browsing since
the
beginning of the net.
I have owned two pair's of L36 Decades, but only have the pair I still need to
rebuild.
My love for quality sound has been fueled by JBL exclusively!!!!
I had found a 12" JBL signature series driver and have no information
regarding
this driver, nor have had any luck finding any info on it or the series.
Alas I no longer have the driver. Only the pin from the cabinet.
Old school JBL's is the best.
Thanks for a wonderful site........
I hope the guestbook will help fuel more pages and information on the site.
Keep up the good work, very impressive!

Wonderfull Site!
What a facinating tour of JBL history.
JBL is responsible for many of my greatest memories while growing up in the
Winnipeg,Manitoba area back in the early seventies. Every nickle I had (and
made) was invested in my Hi-Fi system.
JBL 4350's tri-amped with Crown amps and JBL Electronic Crossovers represented
a
20,000 dollar investment that should never have been sold, but alas, the new
wife did not see it that way.
Thanks for the memories
Ken

(Excuse my english...)
Thank you for that site. I was "linked" to it from the audiocircuit.com...
What
a surprise to discover your real good work and extreme care to achieve a
comprehensive history.
As a music lover for many years and former retail seller, I had the chance to
hear and "test" for hours and hours many models from JBL.
I have personally owned Decade L36, then
L100...then Jubal L65... L200 and L300.
Later on I bought a pair of monitor 4350 when I started to work in the
recording
business.
All of these speakers gave me real pleasure and "educated" my ears to precise
listening;
comparing different amplifiers (HK Citation,
SAE, McIntosh...) tone arms, cartridges... each JBL model was a kind of
magnifying glass allowing to evaluate the quality of sound production for
records or radio programs.
Don't forget the little but "incredible" bookshelf L50... If you ' ve got
them,
never sell them!
Great website... (I can find there many documents that lacked my own
collection).
I 'll be back soon and I'll talk much about it.
Thanks.

I have an opportunity to buy a pair of L200's. Rumor has it that the base is
not particularly accurate because of construction of the woofer. Wonder if the
speaker could be rebuilt to a L200B. My main iterest is single ended vacuum
tube
Hifi where speakers must be very efficient. Thanks. Paul
