hello I have JBL L36 speakers that look like they just came out the box but I notice the wood veneer is dry and when I rub my hand across it I can feel like these fine cracks or something. They really need refinishing, but I know nothing about this and could use a bit of help please. there are...

Thanks so much for the reply, I found a vender. I was starting to think people grinded down the metal rings lol.

hello I have a set of JBL L36 speakers and I was looking into replacing the foam that goes around the tweeter. I looked online and so far all the photos of the new foam installed is a different tweeter then my L36s. My L36s tweeter has a steel ring that the foam inserts into and I was...

I know this is an old post, but I have a question regarding the same topic. What do you guys think of the marantz 2238? Would it be enough for JBL L36s? I’m thinking it should be fine because I’m betting marantz was modest with the 38watts rating and I’m betting it’s really around 40watts. I...

Thanks for the replies, I have started touching the kitchen tap to get rid of the static and seems to help. I was worried I was damaging the stereo or speakers because I would hear the static pop sound through the speakers as well. Thanks again and thanks for the link.

hello I just bought a marantz 2238 and I seem to get a static shock a lot of times when I first touch it, I could be turning it off or adjusting the volume it doesn’t matter. After the first static shock it doesn’t do it anymorethough, Should I be worried? Could this cause damage? I’m thinking...

Hello and thanks for the reply’s. I did infact have them reconed, one of the woofers had a really bad spider with a way off resting spot and it would make this rattle like sound when the bass would hit. I figured since I had to do one I may as well do both. what is the point of connect them to a...

hello I bought a pair of JBL L36s speakers that where in next to new condition except for foam rot and I decided to have them reckoned at a local audio speaker repair shop. The woofer looks good and seems to sound ok but to me there’s a bit lacking in the bass, I expected more from JBL, but that...

I’m going to hold on redoing the caps on the jbls for the time, thanks. i think the spiders were damaged because the foam was removed when it started to rot and the owner let them Sit for over 15 years with no foams or could he have been really rough cleaning the foam from the speakers...anyway...

I did find the 3uF thanks. Im thinking of recapping the crossover because when I adjust the tone or treble on my receiver it makes scratching sounds on the JBLs and effects the sound depending on the setting i have it on. I notice the tweeter and mid will make a scratch like sound when the bass...

hello i would like to change the caps on my l36 crossovers but I have no experience on any of this and could really use some help. I know I need 3uF, 6uF, and 16.5uF and I was thinking of going with with Dayton’s since it’s not as expensive as Sonicap(is Dayton a good choice?). Anyway I can’t...

No not the fabric, the flat black paint where the speakers are. There are some ares that look more shiny then others, I want the black to be all one nice shade without and imperfections.

hello I have a set of JBL L36 speaker and I can’t seem to get that front black panel clean, in fact I made things worse lol. There is streaks and some spot more shiny, it’s driving me nuts. What do you guys suggest I use? Is there a trick to cleaning these things. Please any help would be...

Hello I’m thinking of buying a pair of JBL L50 speakers but I’m worried my Marantz 2220B won’t be enough. Does anyone know if my Marantz would go ok with these jbl l50speakers? Thanks so much d

Hello I have a set of Yamaha ns690 speakers and I was wondering if there is a way I can prevent the magnet from shifting? Maybe put epoxy around the edges of the magnet or something? One of the woofers already has this problem and I want to make sure the other one does not do the same thing...
