Hi,

I bought vintage JBL speakers that have been in use in finnish broadcast studio.

They have following components:
-LX5 crossovers, needs repair. I was thinking that i could rebuilt these, if i get schematics and advice how to do this
-LE15A woofers, needs new surroundings. Black or white. Where to buy with international shipping?
-LE85 tweeters, needs original diaphragms. Now they have cheap aftermarket models. Where to buy?

Both of these beauties also have JBL SE408SE amplifiers.

So please help me with these. I would like to buy correct components with first try.

I couldn't add photos here.

Thank you for your help!

The old JBL crossovers were not so good. LX5
Maybe someone on the forum here has a suggestion for a new crossover.

Hi,

Thanks for the tip!
I emailed Rick.

I will email that reconingspeaker also.

I tried the speakers with MiniDSP 2X4HD active crossover and i liked it. I just want to keep the speakers as original as possible, so i would like to repair the LX5 also.
