    JBL L112 Woofer paint

    These were done long ago. I've been a fine finish PRO. for 35 years. A steady hand, patience and care = beautiful white cones. FYI, I used a Purdy 1" brush. KUDOS!

    JBL L112 Woofer paint

    I did the original al test on the LHS. I had very positive results. AquaPlas was used by JBL to provide mass/ dampening. The LE14'stock had a cone weight of about 142 grams. Adding full formula 123 to the cones added less than a single gram. My woofers looked gorgeous and the nay-sayers looked...

    ESS AMT 1B CROSSOVER QUESTIONS

    Looks like you have some Mighty Altec Model 19's in the mix. Bravo. I've found the 811B/802-8G combo on the top end of that model to be my personal choice of how a speaker should reproduce MR/HF. Lovely . I've owned all the big ESS models. That HEIL on top ; regardless of A,B,C,D's have a very...

    The Best 3-way with 10" or larger woofer

    I'm a JBL guy. Love them;......but....., one of few truly great bookshelf models I have owned and love, non-JBL is the Canton Karat 40. 10"-5"-1", 3way. Sealed enclosure, wonderful build quality, powerful output and refined voicing. Sorry I sold them! Audition some or take a chance. You'll not...

    JBL L110 incoming.

    The L110 uses a LE111a I can't remember if they have both Alnico and Ferrite "H" versions. Black pulp paper cone with white AquaPlas on the back of the cone. Not your typical JBL sounding bookshelf IMHO. Very refined voicing and not too much bass. The grilles are plastic two piece frames. The...

    JBL Jubal L65's opinion

    Funny, I didn't even notice the original post date. Oh well....

    JBL Jubal L65's opinion

    The 077's should have blue diaphragms if they are original . I've heard the difference between newer ferrite magnet woofers as opposed to the stock 122a/126a Alnico type. The stock woofers are curvilinear type, the modern equivalents are much more suited for today's CD quality dynamic range...

    Ess amt 1b

    I've owned many pair of these wonderful AMT1X series speakers. Try some big Yamaha M series amps for power and if you have $, try at least an M80 paired with a C65, 70, 85 or 1000 preamp. I've owned most of the big AMT's ,along with the bookshelf models. Give the stock config. a good long...

    Reminiscing....

    Naw...she died suddenly. I'm definitely a better man for having known Terri for 20 years. On the bright side..., when you have that kind of potential wrt your gear, loudness is the last thing you want. It's really about the quality at even super low levels.Don't get me wrong, it could level...

    Requesting some info on JBL Olympus C50 S8R

    So I was taking my then girlfriend to work and while driving saw a yard sale on the side of the road, and quickly noticed the tell-tale yellow surrounds of vintage JBL's. I pulled around while she yelled 'I'm going to be late now!" I said you'll be glad I did this...... Well, my heart was...

    Oaktron floor speakers

    I owned a pair of Oaktron drivers years ago. 8 inch full range. Very nice build quality. Reminded me of Stephens TruSonic. Blue baskets and what appeared to be Alnico magnets. How do they sound?
