Hi there,
Bitten by JBL bug and now evaluating 2 vintage: L101 and L200.
My audio room size: 3x3m
Powered amp: 7W 300B.
Source: jazz, olden days pop; female vocalists.
L101 (LE175DLH, LE14A)
- female voice a little ‘horny’ to my taste but acceptable. However, could L101 provide some level of imaging and layering with proper speaker placement (ie put on stand and off the back/side walls)?
L200 (LE85+HL91; LE15B)
- Should L200 sound better than L101 since it cost more when new in 1973?
- Understand LE15B needs no re-forming but can scratches (on them) be repaired?
- No similar repair kits as LE15A/136A for LE15B. Any future issue?
- Are imaging & sound layering possible with proper speaker placement?
Am thinking also the newer 4430/4425 but can they be driven by 300B in small room?
Many thanks - roy
