Vintage loudspeakers....Sleeper models....


Hi folks...building a second system...looking for speakers that rival pioneer HPM 1000, yamaha ns 1000, and JBL L 100-200 without the inflated market...any specific models come to mind...any with cloth surrounds that dont require re-foaming...found a pair of sony(yes sony) 2- way ss u 2000 that weigh 50lbs and have carbon woof and vifa tweets...any good? Speakers can be 2-way or 3-way...heavier the better...thanks....

The JBL L-100 and JBL L-200 don't sound anything alike. The JBL L-100 is a 3 way with cone drivers and the JBL L-200 is a 2 way with a 15" woofer and a horn.
They both have high quality drivers with Alnico magnets and they are very efficient.
JBL was sold to a new owner and one of their chief designers didn't like the direction they was taking, so he quit JBL only to be hire by Pioneer and designed the HPM series.
What about Klipsch? There are many models to chose from.
