JBL lovers

You cannot go wrong with L300. Ita well balanced system that if manuafactured now would cost 8000.00 a pair. These can be had if you look around. I purchased a pair for 700.00. The going price in good cond is 2000.00
Another good system Is The L150. these have in my opinion the best tweetr Jbl ever made was a soft dome fabric tweeter very sweet sounding also have big bass responce. Needs 300 a side to be best. Ive owned L100, L150, L200. L300 summit, 4350 (!!) the 4430, 4435, 4320, and built 4350. The 4435 is A nice speaker the biradial horn is smoother. theres a websitr JBL collectors nut house called Lansing heritage. Search and find it they have the best group of JBL Nuts in the world

have you thought about trying a sub-woofer?? check w/a sumiko dealer about sound re-inforcement. unless of course you're looking for black-sabbath live- you might melt a tweeter along the way...

You going to melt anything on big format Jbl's. If you need subs get the 2245H's testeds at 2K power with no strain, 96 db with 1 watt figure that one out.

My father had a pair of l220 oracles that could definately rock and sounded rather nice. I'll admit to not having heard any other classic JBLs, but the l220s were a fun pair of speakers.

I had 4311b Control Monitors purchased around 1980. I remember them being wonderfully clear and natural sounding. Kind of bookshelf sized but really heavy and with bass that could rattle windows. I often wonder what they would sound like with the tube gear I have now.
