Hello, I have been a JBL fan for many years, I have an original set of L112s that I use nearly every day. They are keepers, for sure.
Yesterday I purchased some big old speakers from a friend of mine. His father, who had built them in 1977, had recently passed. He bulit the cabinets one month apart, and the receipts are one month apart as well.
He gave me the original sales receipts for the components along with some original sales literature.
Anyway, both receipts say: 2220 8ohm, 2420 driver,2340 horn, and 3110 Xover.
Those are the components in one of the cabinets, except the woofer actually says 2220a.
In the other, the components are: 130a woofer, 275 driver, H5040 horn, and N600 Xover.
I think I found out that these are virtually identical components, is that correct?
One is home, and the other pro, is that correct?
If not, what are the differences?
I played them last night with my Dynaco ST70 tube amp, and was impressed.
I have not A/B'd them with my L112s, yet. What differnces or similarities should I expect?
Lastly are these components worth keeping around for the next 35 years?
