    jbl-l36 decade

    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...

    JBL L36 crossover

    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...
