Hi all,
I need a crossover schmatic and suggested parts for my L36 restoration project
Years ago I had to replace the mid and hf drivers and went off market.
Now years later I want to restore to original or better using JBL only parts
The mid is a le-5-6 and don't have a part number for the hf driver.
Can some one suggest original or better parts for the restoration?
thanks

It does list the 035Ti as a replacement option, and in my experience it's a better sounding driver than the LE 25. Not sure if you'd be served better with x-over changes if you go that route. There's cosmetic issues with that approach, though, the LE 25 is on a square plate and the 035Ti is on a round plate.
I haven't heard complaints about the LE 5 series in these applications at all. I've got 8 of them in play here & they're not a weak link in any of the systems, to my ears.

think it would be ok to mix a original le-5-6 on one box and a le-5-9 or ? in another?

No - whatever you run you need matched set for it to sound right.

ok, but had to ask. Somewhere I read that the le-5 series are "acoustically" equivalent. But I doubt that comment. although looking at "ebay" samples they appear physically identical.

Some of the LE5 series are functional equivalents & can be mixed/matched to a degree with only cosmetic differences...that set (-6 and -9) ain't one of them- there's a difference in efficiency, among other things.
Consult the matrix:

I found a big difference between the 5-2 and the 5-9 I needed in my 4411. The 5-2 was really hard on the ears, the 5-9 smoother and suited for the crossover. Better mids are the 104 series and they bolt in. If you are going to use the 035, the 104 mid matches it best.
