JBL L112

Thanks for the advice...l will try to audition a pair of new ones...l can tell you l have a pair of HPM 100's in my garage (28×26 10ft. ceiling)powering them with a Crown K2 and there super loud and boomy...great for loud hard rock background music when working...but these JBL L112 's just sound so good l would never use them for garage speakers.. l thought there was no way these JBl's would be better than the pioneers and l was wrong...

L-100, L-112, L-166, L-300. All classics. I’ve owned all but the 112s. I fully restored the 100s and sold em. I still own the 166s and 300s.

I’m sure the new L-100s are fine but they’ll never be classics. If you want to spend that kind of coin on a new set of modern speakers, there’s a lot of competition for your money.

I’d keep the 112s. They’re the real deal, not nostalgic marketing.

I read a post on audioheritage this morning..A guy and his wife bought a new pair of L100's and did a side by side comparison with the L112 's They wound up returning the new L100.The said the highs were glaring and the bass was floppy...l think ll keep these old classics.

Wow what memories. My first pair of real speakers were the L112's powered by a Sansui AU-X1 and would give anything to have that system back.

And to think, I sold that stuff to a buddy dirt cheap just so I could get into home theater.

No way I'd get rid of them if I was you for a new model if those are restored and am envious sir.
