SPEAKERS: Vintage JBL L100



One of the best selling rock speakers from the 1970's from JBL, which prompted a bunch of imitations including Roger Sound Lab, Pioneer HPM series and many others.

The JBL L100 series was distinguished by the white coated woofer with the accordion surrounds, unlike the later foam surrounds that would disintegrate over time.

This particular pair has dented tweeters, and one midrange was torn in the cone. These sat in the living room of smokers' home. Surprisingly, all drivers work. No grilles were available. The pair was listed on CL for $30 out of San Jose, CA.
