Рет қаралды 11,942
6 жыл бұрынAn irresistibly modern version of the L100, the best-selling speaker in JBL's storied history, the L100 Classic is already on its way to achieving equally legendary status. Music Direct’s Bes Nievera chats about the speaker’s inspiration, design, and sound with JBL Principle Engineer Chris Hagen on a visit to the company’s Northridge, California facility.

I first heard a pair of original century L100 with blue foam connected to a Marantz 2015 in 1978 on stands wooden floors and a technics SL20 Turntable. Fleetwood Mac "Chains" WOW I've never gotten over it. I was 18 years old. I'm 62 now. Nothing I've ever purchased has that sound.

JBL L100 Classic, a GREAT product! It's amazing how capable these loudspeakers are. It's superior to many luxury loudspeakers at a much higher price.

Hook these speakers up to a Yamaha A-S2100 integrated amp and a Yamaha CD-S2100 CD player and a Pioneer TX-9500II Tuner with a Pioneer CT-F1250 Cassette deck for an awesome retro system!

It rolls off starting around 50Hz (-6dB at 40Hz) so buy a sealed subwoofer and match it to the L100 and call it a day. That should give you the bass accuracy and extension you need.

Current production of JBL products like these are being manufactured in China and Mexico. The JBL L-100s do not hold a candle light to the modern flagship floorstanding loudspeaker designs of today from other brands.

You're obviously not older than 45 lmfao 🤣 😂 🤭 you don't know how to listen to your life yet. Tower speakers are junk ! A gimmick and a waist of money. Tower speakers were originally used as funnels for sounds. Today they pack them with mismatched junk parts and claim outrageous specs. I'll bet you like polk audio even lol

You’re wrong. They outperform ANY other speaker by ANY other manufacturer in their price range.
