Review 2 of 68

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
I went into my favorite thriftstore today looking for sweatshirts and after finding none to my liking went over to the electronic section. There were a pair of jbl speakers for $49.95 and after removing the grills and much to my joy and surprise saw they were jbl l100 centurys. I checked to make sure the base, tweeter and midrange were not ruined and other than the rotting foam on the midrange the centurys are in great shape. I already purchased the surrounds on ebay today I hooked them up to my Pioneer 737 which is also driving a pair of JBL 4311s and Pioneer hpm 900s and they are just plain kickin butt. I have read of others finding great deals on jbls in the thrift stores and always wished it could happen to me. Well today my wish came true!! My system sounds absolutely fantastic But then it should with two pair of jbls. ROCK ON.

Review 3 of 68

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
Hi
Have own them since 1970. The latest years i have bought and sold sevrels of cd´s amps,speakers,cabels and so on. Always trying to improve the sound. I thought that the L 100 was out of time,and tried to change them to something better. What has happend is that evrything else is gone sewerel time,and that L 100 is still with me,they just play better and better by what you feed them with. Today i have good Quad ll as amps,and the latest change with nordost red dawn as speakercabel,and heimdall on rca it has got a taste of the old esl 57,electrostatspeakers...transparans,+ a vibrant powerbass and good mids,never thougt they could play this good.!!! They are underpriced,( a speaker of my dream whould be Quads 2905,plying better then real life.)

Review 4 of 68

Price Paid:  $0.00 from ??

Summary:
Well what can I say - I got my JBL 100's as and "hand me down" from my Dad who originally bought them in the late 70's. I've had them since 1984 when I enticed him into buying some Bose system he had his eye on (which he regretted in a matter of days) but there was no way I was giving them up!!

I've upgraded the binding posts and crossover myself - courtesy of a company in Denmark called Jantzen-Audio - they produce a kit you can install yourself. As most of these speakers have lost the foam etc after 30 or so years they need a bit of work to restore them. I stumbled across this audio company specialising in components to JBL!!!! and I thought why not - cost me £190 for the kit and I spent £75 on new speaker cloth and foam for the tweeters as well as some sound insulatiing foam for inside the cabinets as recommended by Jantzen Audio.

Wonderful sound - very much improved in the mid range and tweeters - no need to replace them as many of the other reviews have stated. Have a read of Jantzen Audio's testing etc here http://www.troelsgravesen.dk/JBL_L100.htm

Strengths:
Pure quality in every respect (with the new crossover and binding posts)

Weaknesses:
absolutely none - it'll cost you £3000 for an equivalent sound today and alot more for something better.

Review 5 of 68

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
Hi,

I have a pair of JBL L100t3 speakers and looking to sell them. I'm not a audio person and have no idea what to ask for them. An friend gave them to me b/c they were too big for their apt. After reading some reviews, I'm getting a general idea of what they might be worth but there is a huge price discrepancy for one review to another.

Can anyone help?

Thank you.

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.

The Aural Symphonics Chrono b2 is more a study in contrasts than most cables. Chrono b2 refers to balanced version 2.
