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.

Hello Atmasphere,

That JBL speaker seems to be the current rave in the far east. It would have been interesting to hear comments on it's sound.

Baranyi:

Interesting your comments on the JBL Hartsfield . Many moons ago i had the opportunity to hear one , but never did and a shame, it would have been interesting to have heard such an Iconic speaker...

20/20 ,
