    OLD vs. NEW: JBL 2216 (LE15B) vs JBL 2216ND-1 in L200s

    AKA: L200s in the 21st century - or "M200"s?!! Short story long, sorry. What follows is simply my stumbling attempts to improve my JBL L200s - I have a strong background in electronics, but just got sick of it after 15yrs or so of 'bench time', and moved on. As it turns out, I didn't have to...

    JBL L222 refoamed

    Finally finished the re-foaming of both the 15" passive and 14" woofers. These speakers sound amazing. They still need a little more on the refinishing of the wood but for now its done. Sitting next to my Norman Model 10's and JBL HP520 in the back. Definitely keepers.

    Which power amplifier fits the following description?

    To many listeners, JBL 120Tis probably won''t pass as "reference speakers", but they are my reference speakers nonetheless. At least they allow me to recognize the difference between amplifiers. When driven by NAD C375BEE, for example, the bass sounds very strong and punchy, but they also sound...

    JBL HP88f tweeter replacement needed (HP02TI)(B6I-JBH)

    hi guys, I have had these speakers for years and don’t want to replace them, as they are in otherwise excellent shape and I really like them. One of my tweeters stopped working and after attempting to repair a tiny broken wire, it started working but with much reduced output. I haven’t been...

    3 truckloads of speakers...

    I answered a craigslist ad and bought about 3 pickup truck loads of speakers for $100. Some are in good shape, some need a new surround or driver, and some have trashed cabinets. I'm trying to sort out what I've bought, what's worth restoring/repairing/keeping and what is best turned into an art...

    Song(s) that sound best on your system?

    Yes, I knew, an ideal system should have no sound of its own, thus, reproducing any kind of song with "equal opportunity". But it seems there is no such system; it seems sonic difference between systems is a fact of life. After all, Fostex FE206en driven by SET 300B sounds different than Monitor...

    Asking the audio gods to help organize my setup

    I have recently acquired some new gear that I have been wanting to upgrade to for a few years now. I have been more than happy with my current setup, but when you want it, you want it. However, this many amps and a whole bunch of speakers are in front of me and I don't want to ruin some nice...

    0hz Subwoofer

    New to this site!!! I've got a 5.1 home cinema. I'm using a Denon AVR powering 5 vintage Altec Lansing Bookshelf speakers rated at 100w rms and a self powered JBL sub rated at 100w rms. Really happy with the sound from the 5 Altecs but wanting more power and more low end than what I'm getting...

    JBL C56 Dorian "score" turns out to be the dumbest speaker I've ever seen

    I found a pair of l56 locally. The woofers are LE14c (both need a refoam) with a generic Pioneer paper tweeter in place of the 034 that's supposed to be there. I paid a price that meant I wasn't particularly concerned about these shortcomings. I go to pop them open, and find out they have two...

    jbl cf 150

    Hello, My name is Rich Pabst. I just found your site and I think you folks can help me do some research on the JBL CF150. Does anyone know who made the tweeters for these speakers? The JBL part # is d025n55j1970. As you all probably know there are "ABSOLUTELY NO" listed replacement tweeters or...

    Speakers for Marantz PM7005

    Hello, I´m Juan from Argentina. Last year, I bought a Marantz PM7005 in EEUU. I really like how it sounds. I´m using a pair of JBL Stadium (dual 8" woofer) and I want to change them. Do you think that a pair of JBL CF120 will fit fine for this amplifier? I use the USB/DAC input to listen hifi...

    What is the best choice?

    I am about to sell my Sansui G-22,000 for financial matters, a shame! Now I'm looking for an amplifier and pre, an integrated or even a receiver, as long as it's vintage (70's 80's) but that has punchy and full bass and that is detailed as my sansui. Some options I have here in Brazil: 1-...

    Hi all - Longtime lurker and very infrequent poster here. I picked up a passive JBL Pro III Plus subwoofer from goodwill. It was only a couple of bucks and I wanted something to pair with some bookshelves or satellites in my little office, so I thought "why not?". I've emailed JBL's customer...

    Made a bastard JBL VIFA

    So I decided to try "upgrade" my 1995 swedish made XL-Fidelity PG1200 which had rotten woofer surroundings. I'll keep the original 12" woofers for future diy projects (maybe, or they will just collect som more dust) Well. The speakers internal dimensions are 1000X400X300 mm, which should give...

    JBL LX55 Restoration

    I’m just now getting to work on a pair of JBL LX55 speakers I picked up from goodwill a few weeks back for a whopping $4.99 each. I knew nothing really about them at the time but operated on the assumption that all JBL speakers are worth at least $10. Cabinets are a walnut VINYL veneer...
