    JBL C-37 Speakers - Should I/is the price right?

    Got a bead on a very nice looking set of JBL c-37 speakers with the thin legs, big wood cabinets, etc. They are big, and really look nice, a few smallish dings - each cabinet has a d130 and a model 075 in it. Working perfectly. Dude's asking just under 2K. Does anyone have these, has...

    L19/4301 Cabinet Build - Need Specs

    I have a nice pair of 116A woofers and want to build a set of L-19/4301 clones. I have overall dimensions for each - they are slightly different, but internal volume is similar (1.1 cu ft for L19, and 1.06 cu ft for 4301). What I do not have is a layout of the baffle with dimensions for either...

    What Is Your JBL L1XX Standing On?

    I am waiting for a pair of L-110s that I just aquired to be re-coned. I haven't sat down with them for any sort of extended listening session yet, but I'm anxious to get them back and hook them up! Meanwhile, I'm looking for a stand that suits them (and is not the classic L100 stand). The...

    JBL C38s and amplifiers.

    I’ve recently inherited my dad’s C38s that he has coveted and enjoyed the last 50 years and we occasionally talked about buying a tube amp. I’ve been reading about Icon amps and would entertain any suggestions or discussion on the subject. Thanks

    L88P L-Pad technical help please

    Hi, The L-pads in my L88P speakers are stereo ones, input to pin 1 on top one, pins 2 joined together and pin 3 on bottom one to negative. Is this the standard L-Pad or an aftermarket one? Is there an advantage to using this method? More power handling since each one is 15 watts? I can tell you...

    As the title suggests, I’ve found a NEC SW-300 Powered Sub on marketplace, they’re willing to trade me for my JBL P30’s and speaker stands. I upgraded and no longer need the JBL’s or stands. I just got rid of my 300w powered sub in a trade for my Ohm’s since they have plenty of low end, but I...

    Hey all, looking for some ideas from the braintrust here. I’ve recently acquired two, original, factory-wired Dynaco ST-70s. I have an Acoustat preamp with dual stereo outs that I originally thought I would just run to each ST-70. Now I’m thinking that I might need something in between that...

    New World vs Old World JBL: JBL 4307 or 4311b

    As part of my long-simmering desire to recreate (surpass? lol) the sound system my father had when I was growing up in the 80s, I’ve narrowed down my amp choices to the Yamaha CA-2000/2010 and McIntosh MC240. I would love to include an element of a British audio icon in this eventual project in...

    Bozak 302-A’s

    Anyone seen these cabinets before? Not sure if they’re original. I know that these Bozak’s get a lot of love here. It’s a 3.5hr drive each way, but for the low asking price of $200 I’m thinking it’s worth my while. What would you pay for these? Side note: they would be looked at to replace...
