L100 are JBLs but they are not what JBL is known for.
J arrays and the Everest series are JBLs.. Big difference. L100s are fun, great for a smaller room.
As for the bass on the new L100s, it takes a good month to have GOOD bass from that speaker. I listen to two different pairs at two different times.. Both pairs it took a month of playing to break them in and get the new crossovers sounding good..
Like the mids were wired out of phase and then slowly over the next month or so, started sounding more and more time correct. The highs had a slight sibilance with valve amps for 50 hours or so.. It took 100+ hours to sound right and no sub was needed in small rooms 10x12 or smaller.
They weren't "out of the box" great... BUT they sure are something to work with and a lot better tweeter setup than before..
ESS, love the ESS topper that's about it.. I've used them more than once on projects.. I like a good AMT.. Close in performance to a good Ribbon.
Nothing faster or better than that..
Regards
