I wonder if the foam grills for the new ones will fit on the old ones. That would be a positive for some folks.
I saw that JBL is reintroducing the L100 at CES. New titanium tweeter, a few other changes, foam grilles in orange or blue, and a sticker price of $4,000 per pair.

Many people thought the L100's flaws were fixed by later models. New L100 is likely alike original in name and looks only. IMO, been thirty since I've heard one.
Fortunately with Floyd Toole's guidance, the overt sins with the L100 were corrected in the LSR6332. Expecting a five inch midrange to deliver the same directivity reproducing two inch wavelengths as the dome tweeter that follows was a pipe dream.Many people thought the L100's flaws were fixed by later models.

Don't hold your breath waiting for that low price.Yeh. I'd like to see a picture with the grill off. Four grand is probably list. I'm sure they will get discounted, say $2200?
I can't justify $4K for a new pair, when really nice originals are in the $800-$1000 range, regularly, and will likely hold that value (or appreciate)...
Indeed I was...
