The 70’s are back

Heard some Rush on the 4367 yesterday. Boy does JBL ROCK!! The bass was completely kick ass. Dunno how the l100 compares but if it's anything close I think you'll be very happy. And 1/3 the price too.

I just bought a pair of Klipsch Forte IIIs. I was considering JBL. I’d long ago (1996) ditched such old fashioned speakers. Well, 25 years later and multiple tube amps and the rest is history.

I’ve heard a ton of loudspeakers over the years. There’s something great to be said of speaker technology that moves air with a 15" woofer.

It's interesting cus I didn't see any excursion at all from the woofers. But the bass was still amazing.

LoL, I had a pair. They were my first “Big” speaker. Kept them until I got my DQ-10’s. The sound was pretty good for the time, but even if you adjust for inflation $4k is quite a bit more expensive.

We sold the old JBL 100s at Tech Hifi. I preferred all the Ohm speakers of the time that competed with those starting with Ohm L for $400 pair, C2, and H for $800. The C2s were most comparable and the Hs much better. JBL always had muddy bass and lack of clarity overall in comparison at least with the amps of the day. Its a new day now. These better be good for that price nowadays. You can still pick up totally updated Ohm Ls, C2s and Hs using refurbed cabinets, when available, from www.ohmspeakers.com for pretty much the same cost as back in 1978. The $4000 L100s better sound a lot better now!  I'd go for Klipsch Forte III before those at that price for sure.
