If you like the "punch" of the L100 you'll love the extended bass of the L112. The 128H is a much better woofer than the 123 which runs full-range in most of the L100 variants. But some of that "punch" might be the "fake but fun" aspect of the L100. They're not accurate but they do enhance the mid-frequencies, on purpose. For that matter, the L96 is a far more accurate speaker than the L100 and even reaches lower into real bass ranges. The L96 never does any wrong. The L112/4412 can over-emphasize LF range though barrier reinforcement caused by poor placement. The L96 seems less influenced by placement issues. If you like that kind of emphasis then you can get much more LF from the 12-inch 128H and H-1 than the 123 was ever capable of. I have L96, L112, and 4412A and they're all fantastic speakers. I still say you get more for your money in the L5 (or L7 which I also have) but many just prefer the classic look of the L112/L96, and I can't blame them. Stick the L5 anywhere and the array works perfectly. No placement issues with the stacked drivers and stand-up form factor. Even the rear port seems unaffected as long at it's not jammed against a wall.
