E V Patricians-- JBL Hartsfields- Your choice


In the mid 50's I heard both systems. The Patrician was full sounding and euphonic. The Hartsfield was punchy and bright- seemed to lack bass. Both were K horn designs but I opted for the Patricians.

I used them until I heard a QLS about 25 years ago. Now I listen to a home brew line source that is satisfying.

I guess anyone that has either of the above mentioned speakers probably can't hear above 10K HZ but what the heck.

I just bought a JBL 375 driver, six JBL LE 15 A woofers and as pair of 075 tweeters.

It's time to build an experimental speaker!

If you are listening to a JBL system that uses the afore mentioned drivers, I'd like your thoughts.

Hi, I second what Isochronism said, an up-date would be great!, I have 1992 JBL L7 speakers modified with Taralabs omega jumper cables on the bi-amping post, this took these speakers to a whole nother level of sound performance that I did not expect from these speakers, My next mod to these speakers is going to be loosing the still points speaker spikes and tring to get the polycrystal jumbo speaker spikes, 4 on each speaker, I have experience with these resonance control products that are not in production no longer, They made some horn speakers I owned years ago right out magical sounding, Happy Listening.
