Glad to see JBL being talked about again more. The JBL big boys have certainly been making headlines for a few years and now the return of the L100 is pretty exciting. I think L-ers are going to be pretty pleased with the new design. Some of the peaks and valleys are supposed to be smoothed out. I hope not too much cause that was part of the charm, the adjustments will help.
But if I can slide a hair off topic (not too far) I'd also like to remind people that once in a while there is a JBL that pops up for sale that JBL onlookers might want to think about. While JBL has always done a marvelous job with these 3 ways there was a 2 way that somehow slid under the radar. In 1982 JBL came out with the L46 2 way 8" woofer 1" tweeter. I believe it retailed for $400.00 maybe less. The first time I heard it the midrange spoke to me and I quickly realized this was the JBL midrange I had always listened for, at any price. With the right speaker stand design the L46 does incredible music. I don't use my pair standing up and down like most do but sideways with the tweeters to the outside. I use them with my SW15 Subwoofers. I wouldn't be surprised if this particular model becomes a premium priced collectable in a short time now that JBL is back in the notice. Not that they were ever out of notice, but this JBL 2 way does a cure for those wanting possibly the best of JBLs midrange sound, maybe.
JBL collectables are always going to be in fashion and the L46 is definitely one to add to yours if you understand this speaker.
That's not $4000.00 but it's my 2 cents worth. Enjoy your L100s guys. Let me know if you need speaker wire, I make a wire spin specifically for JBL.
