I worked in hifi retail in birmingham in the 1970's i worked with JBL and we sold many pairs of L100 speakers they were loud forward and in your face they really sang to you but my god they were good, nothing else we had in the store came even close to the JBL's from memory they were a bright sounding speaker just outstanding. No i could never afford a pair but that was 1970 maybe this time around lets talk to the bank.

[@langahsahib7371]

Sir I want to 16 inch speaker. Of jbl

So you new the L-112 which has been the best JBL speaker to date

Appreciate the limitations of KZbin but I get the feeling the top end is a bit unsophisticated and would be tiring after a while. That being said I love the way the midrange and low end kind of bounces along. On this evidence the tweeter is the Achilles heel.

Apreciadores de um som afinado e de quakudade no nesmo lugar. E uma satisfação pode ouvi som equalizado, vindo de ótimos equipamentos. Parabéns aos organizadores desse encontro. Rio de Janeiro, 13/06/20.

[@leschwartz]

L100s are a good book shelf speaker, meaning that they need to radiate into 180 degrees, as if placed into a wall, they are not the ideal floor standing speaker. You can turn down the treble ... agree that the driver integration is not perfect, don't expect to get enough bass impact to make you really feel the music subconsciously. The older generations of JBL engineers were amazingly able to hear less than 1 db off in linearity over the full range, and they would tweek every aspect of the speaker design until they got it nearly perfectly linear over its full operating range. I don't have the impression that the newest generation of JBL design engineers have developed that level of skill. These speakers sound more like what I remember the better models of Japanese speakers tended to sound like decades ago in overall character, but a bit better in quality.

[@leschwartz]

@Mark Godfrey They were designed for the studio monitor market to replace the standard Altec 604 coaxial speakers which had a large market share in previous decades but which also had an annoying mid range peak which improvements in recording media exposed, so studio engineers wanted a flatter more accurate monitor, which is what the L100s were designed to be. Floor stands are sold to people who want to use them as floor standing speakers that does not mean they were designed and optimized to be floor standing speakers. The L100s sound good when placed into a wall and best when designed into the intersection of a vertical wall and ceiling in a monitoring position. They sound tubby and over modulated when attempting to reproduce bass on the floor, stand or no stand.

After a long silence of 40 years, Again the Hi-fi stereo of 2 channels left and right, coming back to ""enlighten"" the mind and heart of every listeners. In the past 1970s and 1980s , The real enlightenment of global music was in every corner of the world, The true pure ""STEREO SOUND"". of two channels for both ears left and right. It was at that time between 1970 to 1990, The true pure stereo system has given an enlightment to the humans to listen and to get fast advancement in any type of work and technology. This sounds very good, will be much appreciated if the electric bass guitar notes must sound little more deeper and grounding or earth penetrated types.

[@markrowe8824]

great sound plus not the usual music type seen in demo's, something upbeat for a change.

[@yanim9578]

I would think they are designed to be used with the grills? Might dampen the top end a bit. I’ll admit most speakers I’ve had sound better without the grills though.

I don`t understand hype around jbl. I`ve heard those during Warsaws Audioshow (also with ML) and it was horrible. No real bass with was suprising, sound was glued to speakers with veeery harsh highs. Looks impressive indeed.

[@m.9243]

@Mark Godfrey I am not surprised as, some of JBL's top models are exceptional speakers in anyone's language. They certainly know how to make speakers.

[@mymodel6]

Dude, you are listening to YOUR SPEAKERS, not the JBL's lol...

[@1970borntorun]

Of course, any intelligent person would not base a buying decision based alone on a Video like this, but this was a REASONABLE approximation of how they might sound. With that said, I used to own a pair of the Original L100's and although the Bass was absolutely phenomenal in terms of tightness, roundness, depth, punch, speed, and dynamic-swing, unfortunately, because there was no real Crossover ( only Capacitors ?? ) , the top-end would tear your head off !! No matter what I did with the speaker Tone controls, I could never achieve that delicate balance between detail & no-sonic-fatigue and I ultimately sold them. HOWEVER, if the mostly very positive reviews Online and elsewhere are any indication, and JBL has addressed the issues I have mentioned, this may just be the last High-End Speaker I ever buy. I make a very good living selling Insurance and would much rather spend my money on Vintage European Sports Cars than over-rated Wilson's and many other over-hyped speakers in the High-End. Take care guys! -Dave in San Francisco ♫

[@David-vb8tg]

Well, I must be severely lacking in IQ, because I bought them largely for how they look.

[@mymodel6]

Probably because you spent all your money on snake oil and absolutely none on your room...

[@kohnfutner9637]

I have JBL studio 580 and I have to point the tweeters straight ahead and not right at my ear. JBL do have well controlled bass and I've come to love their concert sound. If I had your money and space, I would give these a try. They are on special at Crutchfield and it's killing my soul not to buy them. 😢

[@koipinliew3989]

The new Mark Levinson Integre amp really sounds good: Well balanced and transparent sound on audition.

[@ichbinshaltne]

[@UncompressedWAVmusic]

I bought a set of new in 1978 JBL 4311WX Control Monitors the professional version of the original JBL L100 and had the same size drivers. I still have then and they are still in perfect condition and always sounded incredible on every type of music I play on it in 2,000 parties in 42 years. Always great a real legendary speaker still popular today. The new L100 Classic is better and cost more but worth it.

[@ThresholdZhor]

I don't believe the new L-100 Classic are better than original L-100's....the Classics are made by harman and the Original were made by JBL,,never the same , but maybe you did not like the L-100 original very much because they use paper tweeter which do not sound so detailed,,,later in 1979 JBL produce the L-112 which has been the best JBL bookshelf to date,,,better than the L-100 Classics

[@old2520]

Классный звук, лёгкий, светлый, и в тоже время прекрасно отыгрывается весь частотный диапазон, сочетание лучшего в мире на мой взгляд транзисторного усилителя и одной из лучших акустик дали такой отличный результат.

[@PursuitPerfectSystem]

This was a 4 day hifi show and this video is only a few minutes from those four days so the music variety would inevitably be limited. Eq settings for this room would not help you for your room so there is no point in you having them. If you want to hear the system travel to a dealer for a demo in person that is the best way if your spending big coin on something
