As for L-Pad settings, that's something I didn't toy with much with my 4430's, preferring to leave both set to flat.

Listening room acoustics will of course be different in all applications to...

Honestly, I can't recall using any products on the Horns, and if I did, it sure wasn't Armor All.

I abandoned the use of Armor All back around 1990. I'll explain why. I once used it to shine up...

Edit-delete

I had to of course look back through this thread. Being a 4430 owner, can anyone blame me? LOL

I know I speak flamboyantly at times, but good Amplification is one good place to start. JBL's,...

That's true. You essentially had to be a person on the floor to know how day to day JBL operations proceeded.

No doubt a person such as Mr. Greg Timbers could speak-write volumes.

Perhaps what I wrote earlier was somewhat confusing, even for myself as I read back what I wrote.

So, let me again ask some questions-observations which would lead to more logical-actual...

Thank you for this link!

By looking at the timelines for specific models, let's say the L-65 Jubal and L-300 Summit as examples, I get the impression then that JBL introduced such models...

Hello folks, hope you are all well.

This is a question(s) for you JBL Historians, about the L-Series. As you all know, the L-Series had quite a few models.
L-26/L-36/L-56/L-65,...

Your JBLs need to get slapped around a bit, to make both of you smile!

Lots of little doo dads jacked the price with my vinyl front end, and much not seen in a mere picture.

Like a $3,000 ZYX Cartridge, a $600 Isolation Base, Phono Stages, a $1,000 Phono Cable, on...

It can be done but then one would be missing out on the strongest part of the 4430's and that my friend is feeding them gigantic amounts of clean power. I think Nelson Pass is indeed a legend in the...

Depends how particular you are?
A full re-veneer and everything else to get the cabinets back is probably the best, but the most expensive option.

And yeah, purists will cry their eyeballs out,...

Sewing Machine Oil is good for many uses. It is made from Mineral Oil, and is of a low viscosity.

I think generally today, the catch phrase is "synthetic lubes", and I'll agree that good...

Thank you very much folks. This was the exact information I was looking for.

That did not require the need of bi-wiring-amping?

I know the 4430/4435 were two. Were there others similar? "ala rotary switch, or?"

Thank you all for your common sense explanations. I had these same thoughts, but thought I'd garner some other's opinions about such.

Duh, I'm sorry, that's what I meant to say in my original post, rotate 180 degrees. not 90. LOL

32 views so far, and not one hit! I must be a Klingon in this forum.

Yeah, I know, it's a stupid freaking question, how about some stupid answers? LOL

I heard somebody mention this once about the larger JBL Bass Drivers. So, may I ask, as I assume they were speaking of which direction the two wires on the cone face?

That everybody wants them...

Thank for this information, I let Peter know about what you have said.

Of where he then chooses to order the surrounds from, that I assume will be his choice.
My goals were to provide him all...

For sure Peter, if I didn't like my L-65 Jubals for whatever reason, I surely would not have kept 4 of them all these years.

It is a speaker that I always have been very fond of.

Discussing the cone diameter with Peter, he claims from the measurements he has taken of his 122A Drivers, that the cone diameter is 244mm, which equates to what, 9.6", correct?

Appears folks such...

It appears our friend Peter who started this thread did buy himself L65 Speakers. Congrats!

I think he related to me that the Bass Drivers need a re-foam and will do this very soon. If these...

You'll find here, and elsewhere, there will be replies and opinions with some personal bias thrown in.
I have, not denying such.

What I might say, others could have a different opinion. As I...

I know my Jubals have gone through 1000's of hours of play over the many years. Within "reason and sanity", all the drivers will hold up well if the speakers and networks are in good health. Of...
