The only "problem" with these speakers compared to the L100 is that the little LE20-1 paper-cone tweeter does a ridiculous amount of the work. In the L88 the LE20-1 Tweeter is crossed over with the 123A-1 Woofer at 2000Hz... With that in mind, consider that in the L100 model that uses this same LE20-1 tweeter, it is crossed over with the mid at 7500Hz, and the Mid is crossed over with the 123A-1 woofer at 2500Hz.
Kinda crazy that the LE20-1 tweeter in the L88 is crossed over with the 123A-1 woofer at a lower frequency than the midrange is crossed over with the 123A-1 woofer in the L100. With the tweeters being responsible for such a large frequency range, you will be asking a lot of them if you play your speakers loud.
Didn't the L100's use the LE25 tweeter? The LE20-1 is the next generation of the LE20 which JBL paired with the D123 and LE14A in several of their 2-way systems of the 1960's.
