JBL L112


I recently acquired a nice pair of JBL L112 from my lawyer who was cleaning out his basement. After a fun restoration ,surrounds,midrange dust caps and cabinet refinishing they turned out beautiful. I'm driving them with a XL600 and a mcintosh pre amp..These speakers are 44 years old and sound great,they are so lively and dynamic and well balanced.They also have some shortfalls but lt makes me think 

Speakers have gotten better but not by much...my Mcintosh Revel Ultima setup  plays louder with less distortion.....but these JBL L112 's will hold there own and they are truly fun to listen to ..brings you back to a high-school party.would it be a mistake to sell them and get the new L100 anniversary models?

i’ve owned the 4311s since they were new in 1973 or so. Along the way I’ve upgraded from Kenwood to Crown to McIntosh. Most recently going from the 275 to the 452 early last year. Two months ago I auditioned the new L100’s and less than 10 minutes later I ordered them. Two caveats: First, make sure that you have a room that is long enough to support that incredible woofer. Secondly, don’t skimp on the power.
