@Radarcb329 5 месяцев назад

Audio Advice should show the impulse response of speakers vs azimuth angle, and when comparing different designs. That's where spatial coherence really matters as in wideband coaxial/coincident drivers or planar arrays. They covered all of the dynamic range and spectrum quality bases with this JBL design, except for consistent spatial response.

@AudioAdvice 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for the suggestion.

@chrisrud5158 5 месяцев назад

I have a pair of the Limited Edition 75th Anniversary L100's which have upgraded crossovers, drivers and dual input posts. Sounds like JBL added those improvments to the MkII, minus the Teak veneeer on all sides. :) The L100's are indeed "not" just a rock n roll speaker. I listen to as much Classical and Jazz as anything else, and electronic music as well. The JBL's excel at all types of music with neutrality and dynamics. I drive mine with an NAD C298 which is a very nice match. Great speakers!

@AudioAdvice 5 месяцев назад

Cerwin Vega does actually have a brand new line out

@JR-ho5qm 5 месяцев назад

@@MuscleBN yes it’s a budget line called the La Series. Then they will be releasing a higher end real wood veneer magnetic grille line called the LSD series however unfortunately it is still a narrow baffle speaker the largest being a 8”. I would like to see a 12” and possibly 15” high end 3 way.

I was finally able to visit your store at Raleigh NC as were staying nearby visiting family. There we met Steve L. which was very patient and helpful to us. He will be the guy I'll reach when I am ready to purchase the Anthem MRX1140 and possible the Epson LS1200. Please tell him that I said 'Go Steelers' hopefully he remembers me. Thanks!!

We will pass this on to Steve. We really appreciate you sharing your experience.

How would the Mark II fair vs the Classic 75 version? Which is Better?

@AudioAdvice 5 месяцев назад

They should be very similar. Feel free to call or chat with our experts at audioadvice.com and they can help you compare the two even more!

@mikecampbell5856 5 месяцев назад

I remember looking at these when our ship was in Japan in 1978. I wanted them so bad! I see the foam woofers have all rotted now and is JBL still using foam surrounds?

@MuscleBN 5 месяцев назад

No they are rubber surrounds now..not to many manufacturers use foam anymore

@AudioAdvice 5 месяцев назад

Foam was very common at that time period, but not anymore. No one uses foam to our knowledge now

@powellpatterson4928 Месяц назад

Hopefully they sound as good as the original centurys. absolutely amongst the best speakers ever.

@AudioAdvice Месяц назад

They sound very very good!

@davidt8438 5 месяцев назад

90dB at 4 ohms is certainly a big change. What ever happened to ratings based on 8ohms? I have original L100’s in excellent condition with new brown grills. I also have the steel stands that are shown in the first photos. The only thing not original are the binding posts which have been replaced with brass high quality posts. I’m thinking of selling them but I can’t come up with a fair price. The only reason I’m thinking about selling is I’ve had them since I bought them in 1975 and I want to try something different.

@AudioAdvice 5 месяцев назад

We guess these turned out to be 4 ohms with the crossover upgrade, it is interesting. Enjoy your JBL's!

@paulmardis1512 5 месяцев назад

I wonder how they would compare with Arendal 1723 THX Monitor speakers in SQ.

@AudioAdvice 5 месяцев назад

We have not compared but thanks for the suggetion!

@dm95422 28 дней назад

The grilles need to be magnetic. Perhaps in their future versions of the L series speakers.

@AudioAdvice 27 дней назад

We suspect they are sticking with the pegs for the retro design. Thanks for watching

@rudylopez2473 5 месяцев назад

what is the price gaurantee on the mk11 JBL l100 speakers?

@AudioAdvice 5 месяцев назад

We make sure we are charging the best and lowest price on the market!

@HanifBarnwell 5 месяцев назад

I’ll watch later, but can someone tell me why these speakers are not mirrored??

@AudioAdvice 5 месяцев назад

That is a good question. We hope you enjoy the video

@dsnyder0cnn 5 месяцев назад

I was wondering that too. But with a crossover point of 450 Hz, the offset is inconsequential.

i think Spendor should bring back the Vintage Spendor S100 line...they made a classic line called Spendor 100 Classic... they are not the same as the older vintage speakers...the sound is not the same and at a 12,000 price tag...

Look great but agree not happy with the cost and additional charge for the stands. KLH includes the stands in their models.

@AudioAdvice 5 месяцев назад

Fair enough. While you don't need the stands if you have a spot to put them already, they are necessary if you don't.

@andyhowat4624 2 месяца назад

Ca. You buy grills?

@AudioAdvice 2 месяца назад

If you mean replacement grills for this model yes. Thanks for watching

@markclark1605 5 месяцев назад

I always been a fan of jbl for the quality built from the cabinets along with the quality of the drivers. Cross over components are decent as well. But the draw back of the speakers is they are so bright in the midrange area. I prefer a more warm sounding speaker.

@AudioAdvice 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing

@carlosr.2027 4 месяца назад

What speakers do you recommend over l100 classic at lower cost and warm sounding

@misterpsych3804 5 месяцев назад

"stand mount" ....pretty damn big for stand mount

@AudioAdvice 5 месяцев назад

They make special stands for them that are low to the floor and tilt it back at a good angle. But yes, very large speakers.

@toonertik 4 месяца назад

WOW.. So it's not really a "L100", is it.. NOt a criticism.. I'd love a pair, especially to compare to my originals ;-))))

@AudioAdvice 3 месяца назад

That is right, greatly improved, but looks very similar. We have them on display in our stores, if you are in the Carolinas, drop by sometime.

@glennquagmire1747 5 месяцев назад

It would been awesome if they made them powered speakers with Bluetooth capability

@AudioAdvice 5 месяцев назад

That would be pretty cool, although we suspect that would put them around 10K to do it right. Thanks for watching

@rxw5520 4 месяца назад

Wtf do you expect manufactured in California. Their employees have to pay $1800/month reparation tax and $6.50/gallon for gas. $2400 is a week’s worth of rent. The guy who puts these together is probably making over $100/hr plus benefits.
