[oneputt]

Anybody on here own a pair of JBL L-100 Classics? If yes, how do you like them? Are they worth the price they are asking? Any other info would be appreciated. Thanks

Really? I've not seen many threads about this new version of the L100.

Here is one thread:

I find that using Google to search the AK site provides good results, example below.

Geez, really?........I humbly ask your forgiveness in mistakenly thinking the OP was referring to the original JBL-100 as a classic in which case my reply was correct.....no worries, I smacked my own hand.

Most of us JBL guys here run vintage JBL's, the wide selection in the market place gives more choices for what we want to hear. For 4K you can find L300's

I also have a couple pair of vintage JBL's which I enjoy, Decade L-36's and the orig L-100's. Just been thinking about buying the new L-100's to try new speakers. All my speakers are vintage Celestial-Ditton 442"s and some ADS L810's. The last new set of speakers I bought were the L100's back in 1974. I've been thinking it's time for a new set and what everyone thought of them. Thanks

John Darko gives them an interesting review on You Tube.

I like the way they look, but I don’t think I would trade them for my L 110s...

 

[oneputt]

Those look good and the price is good, I'll have to look into them

At least one AK member owns a pair of L100 classics and recently raved about them, but I was unable to find that thread in a brief search.

I was impressed having listened to the L100 Classics at AXPONA. I listened to a lot of speakers that day, did a lot of comparing, feel that they're typical JBL engineering and component quality, excellent sounding speakers and at a reasonable price point for many people.

I did hear a couple of speaker systems I liked better, those for 5x to 100x the price.

I think they are more nostalgic than anything. My room mate in college had a pair and I had a pair of OLAs. We ran both speakers as each made up for each other's flaws. Sounded good together.

These are the new L100 Classic or the original? They pretty much share only styling and the name.

I was speaking classic.

I was speaking classic.

The new model is called "Classic". The old model was "Century". I assume you're talking about the latter, since the "Classic" was only released a year or two ago.
