JBL L36

I have had these speakers since 1977; I had to re-foam the woofers about 20 years ago, but otherwise still in excellent shape.  In the last 15 years, I moved on equipment-wise and since shelved the L36s. So the other day, out of curiosity,  I decided to pull them out and connected them to my  current VPI, VAC and ARC front end; they were actually quite impressive!    For what was considered a “bookshelf” speaker at the time, they could pull off a large soundstage for these small boxes and fill my relatively large 18 x 20 room!  

I remember at the time listening to both the L36 and the L100; I actually preferred the L36 as I thought the L100 was bass heavy.  Does anyone else have any experience they would like to share on these speakers?  After my most recent audition, I am hanging on to them and listening to them more often!
