    JBL Decade 16 (L16) tweeter hunt (LE25)

    Hi all I recently picked up a nice bundle of vintage HiFi gear (Marantz 1150, Thorens TD 160 highlights). I was rather excited about the JBLs that were in the lot until I got home and discovered that a) the refoam on the woofers had been stuck on the front and b) the LE25 tweeters have been...

    Is more power better? (Thule IA100 vs IA350B driving JBL Ti10K)

    So I recently switched to using a Thule IA100 (100w/pc) to drive my Ti10K's, with very good results. Now I've got a chance to grab an IA350B (350w/pc balanced), but having never really experimented much with amps and such, I'm curious if it will be worth the upgrade? The JBL's rated at 10-400w...

I picked up a vintage Kenwood KR 2400 receiver for $30 at an antique mall and it works great with no issues other than a missing push button for the power. I'm scoping out a pair of...

    JBL L150 vs L300

    Looking to up grade my jbl 4312b's. I have found these within driving distance and was wondering how much difference there were in these 2 sets of speakers assuming both are in VG shape. The l300's are 3.5x the price. I assume the l300's would be a better investment but really don't want to lay...

    JBL or ADS?

    Yep, that's right, I cant just simply enjoy what I have. Have to always look at other toys. In this case I found JBL L166 and ADS l1290. Both seem to be in good condition. Both about the same price. And no - cant afford to get both now. Price is not "super deal" - so it's not something to try...

    JBL L110

    I have been offered a pair of JBL 110 speakers that need to be refoamed for $150.00. Not sure whether they need a recapping. Is $150 a decent price for these speakers? It is my understanding that these speakers are supposed to be pretty good.
