mixing speaker models -jbl

[bamaboy]

I have one JBL jubal L65 and one JBL L56. I picked them each up for 3 bux each and they need refoamed, question is can I use them together? Anyone ever mixed model before? How would it sound?

They are pretty much identical in sensitivity and 8-ohm, so at least there's that. Would probably be pretty good in mono for background music. Doubtful you'll get a good image (mono or stereo) though.

You're way better off just flipping them in this case and using the money to buy an actual set of other JBLs.

You're a subscriber - try bartertown. Who knows, maybe someone has a matching mis-matched pair.

The only way that you are going to know if it works or not would be to try it. Of course you might need to do the refoam work yourself first. From the pictures of both speakers that I found on the net I think that it might work OK but imaging might not be the best. You would have to try and get the tweeters at about the same height in your listening environment. Those speakers look like they might be close enough that it just might work.

Any way to set them up and test with them in their current condition?

Going by "bamaboy" I'm assuming the state of AL, in which case I'd gladly pay double what Bama paid, if I were able to pick them up.

Many of the posts I've read say those are nice speakers. Imaging might be a problem with both pairs going.

You'd pay $6 for a single speaker that sells for $400-1000 per pair? Gee, what a high roller .
