new L100?


Anyone get a chance to take a listen to the (new) JBL L100 speakers?  If so, what are your thoughts?

The Yamaha NS10, widely used in studios, sound like nails grating on a chalkboard. I once considered a campaign to rid the world of those things as the inherent screeching produced by them is an audio nightmare, and the reason for severe depression among engineers (a theory, but still...). I guess the reason for them to exist is that they're already in so many studios, but man...ban the NS10 I say...destroy them wherever they are...otherwise, hey, they're FABULOUS!
I’m willing to bet they don’t sound anything like the originals, which had a response curve like a big smile, but were everywhere back in the day...I think all of the foam grills melted off at the same time worldwide, but that might be a rumor I just started. Those suckers could destroy a Lava Lamp at 30 feet and melt the hash pipes and your eardrums in the recording studio...get yer Sansui or Phase Linear mojo on! The "nostalgia" bet JBL made by making new versions was brilliant and like somebody said...4 grand these days? meh...my Klipsch Heresy IIIs nearly identical looking ancestors came from 1957...who knew? You go JBL!
