    JBL 122A Woofer Spider deformed, Recone? (JBL L166)

    Hello guys, I bought new speakers again, JBL L166! They were not that expensive and to pickup in my area. :banana: Both the JBL 122A-1 woofers have damaged foam surrounds, which I noticed while I was at the guy's place buying them, but that wasn't really a problem I thought. On closer...

    Trading in opinions (JBL L-19)

    Hey (first post here!) So a local collector picked up my listing for my beloved JBL L19s (sounds great, with some scratches on the exterior), always loved their dynamic sound profile. Listed for equivalent of 280 USD roughly. On the phone, he asked for any specific models I'm interested in as...

    Nakamichi TA-4A

    I recently acquired this reciever for $300. It is in mint condition with remote! I have to say this unit has a beautiful soundstage reminiscent of a tandberg separate system I heard long ago on a pair of Thiels. Probably better, clean clear, transparent ,effortlessly powers my L-7 JBL’s. I Also...

    Hello! This is my first time posting on AudioKarma so forgive me if I make any mistakes. I recently acquired a pair of JBL L110's.

    JBL L99 Lancers opinions?

    I'm listening to my L99's (actually Heathkit AS-48, but the same thing). Bass is great: punchy and deep. The vocals come right out of the cabinets, very forward, similar to L100's. There's none of the midrange stridency that the L100's are tuned for. Stereo imaging is good. But these are...

    Heathkit AS-48 (JBL L-99 Lancers?)

    Found a pair of these Heathkits, which I think are an off-branded JBL L-99 Lancers. Drivers are still working, thank goodness. But rear terminals are numbered "1" and "2" -- 1 is positive?

    For the last three years I’ve been on the hunt for some Klipsch Heresys at a reasonable price point ($550 or below), and though I’ve come across a few possibilities, it has never panned out — someone always makes their way to the deal before I’m out of work or something like that. Pretty...

    JBL 4312 driver phase strangeness

    I've just got a pair of original 4312s and have recapped them, and I've sort of gone down a rabbit hole looking at the crossover schematic. It started when I worried I might have reversed the woofer's wiring, seeing that the negative signal to the woofer is wired in directly from the red...
