JBL L100 Classic 75's - Thoughts, Impressions, Serial Numbers


Hey everyone,

I recently took delivery on a pair of JBL L100 Classic 75’s. I love the look of these and what I’ve been able to experience so far. This is the first pair of JBL’s I’ve owned in my audio journey. Most of my time in the hobby has been with smaller bookshelves plus a sub (2.1). I was curious who on the board has a pair of these and what your thoughts were? How do they compare to other speakers you’ve had? Also curious what serial numbers are out there.I’m in the US and my pair is pair #264.

I absolutely love mine. They really shine with quality gear behind it and at medium listening levels IMHO. Best speaker that I've ever owned.

Very happy with my pair... they were the first piece of gear I upgraded on my old system... then as it happens with more research and going down the rabbit hole, I went quite a bit further than I expected up the chain with my other gear to pair it with... and fortunately, no regrets at all!

They are performing better than I even expected. Definitely not lacking in the Bass department and it is very responsive to movement and set-up. Here is an early reviewer of the JBL L100 75s where he shares his glowing experience with it:

Awesome @audiomaxi. Glad to hear that you are liking yours as well. I recently upgraded the jumpers on mine and am really happy with it. Cheers and happy listening!

 

@willg1985  - Curious to know what upgraded Jumpers you used and what difference did it make? Was it for a better and more secure connection? On the video above, "Tharbamar" did the same thing using Viborg BP603R Binding Posts and Audiocrast Jumpers. Anyway, just wondering... Take it easy and glad to hear the speakers are still rockin' your room! 🎸

@audiomaxi - I am using the Nordost Norse 2 (https://tmraudio.com/accessories/speaker-cables/nordost-norse-2-bi-wire-jumpers-set-of-4/). It wasn't for a better or more secure connection, but rather to upgrade from the stock plates. I'm not great with the audio descriptors but it definitely has improved the sound. I feel like there is more instrument separation and clarity with these. Happy listening!
