Would I gain anything?
I have a stock pair of JBL L-200 speakers. The cabinets are in excellent condition as are the drivers. One of the cheesy spring loaded input connectors is missing.
Would it improve the performance significantly to remove the crossover and rewire the system using good quality speaker wire and new binding posts and then bi-amping with an external active crossover?
From what I understand these JBL drivers are still among the best and the cabinets, while dated in appearance are well constructed and pretty dead.

Would it improve the performance SIGNIFICANTLY to remove the crossover and rewire the system using good quality speaker wire and new binding posts and then bi-amping with an external active crossover?Yes it would, although "significantly" is a relative term, isn't it! However, talking about it is easy. Implementing it is not. You might try improving the matls used in the passive xover first. Anyway, you need: the original x-over schematic, the tech sheet, info on the drivers and, not least, help from an experienced spekaer diyer or speaker tech. Enjoy |
Thanks, everybody. Since these speakers are "extra", I guess I'll forgo the temptation to mess with them. Currently they are providing voice for a Yamaha P-120 electric piano. My fantasy concerned elevating their performance to a level where they might adequately supplant the speakers in my main system.It sounds like too much trouble. |
