    Refoaming JBL LE25 tweeters

    Anything to keep in mind before trying to scrape off old decomposing foam from these tweeters? A particularly good scraping tool, blue painter's tape over the dome, how to best clean the surface before applying the new surrounds?

    JBL L100 Restoration

    Hey Guys - I'm planning on restoring my old JBL L100's that my father gave me long ago, but wife put me on a budget. I wish I had taken better care of them when younger as they are in rough shape and been through a lot. I'll definitely have to re-cone the woofers and refinish cabinets, but...

    XSim JBL L100 Crossover Mod

    Any constructive input? I've checked out a few tried and generally accepted modifications around the web, Murphy, Janzen, etc. but wanted to simplify their quite elaborate crossovers. (Also, I'm not sure if I should have started a new topic. Lemme now if I should delete this and do that.)

    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...

    Marantz 2265 and JBL L100 Classic

    Hi, I really love my Marantz 2265 - but I've been offered a set of the new JBL L100 Classic and I'm really tempted to get them. But the JBL's are 4 Ohm's and the 2265 is rated at 8 Ohm's. I've read for and against - the dealer is saying it won't be an issue, while others are saying "don't"...

    Quicksilver Monoblock, B&W Diamond speaker, Tube Blow

    I have a set of monoblocks (takes EL34, 8417, or 6550 tubes) which I want to hook up to the Bowers & Wilkins 805D speakers. When my output tube failed in the past, my L100 speakers produced a very loud pop sound that I fear might damage the $1k diamond tweeters aboard the B&W speakers. Of...
