Any JBL L150A users out there?

The manual for the speakers lists the finish as "oiled walnut" and the grills came in three different colors.I suspect that these have been doctored.That would certainly reduce the value.If the speakers are in great shape,not needing any re-foaming and they sound as fantastic as they should these could be a great speaker for around 400.00,or less .They would love a big powerful solid state amp.Not exactly sure what current speaker these could be compared to but they sound well beyond the above price point.They are food of the gods for the noisy Rock of that period.

Hello Chad329, Jazzcourier is exactly correct by the L150A brochure. Mine is dated 3/81. However, the Lansing Heritage site shows a 1982 full line catalog which states; The L150A is finished in oiled walnut. It is also available in the same custom finishes as the L250; Transparant Black Stain, Indian Rosewood, Macassar Ebony, and White Oak. Grille colors available are Brown, Blue, Black, Rust, Tan, and Maroon. When bought,I was 19 and they were a floor model,walnut/brown grilles. That was 1984 and I still own them,along with many others(larger)JBLs. Your L100 doesn't even compare. They will go very low but like ALOT of power!! Mid-fi amps/receivers don't do them justice (I know,been there done that starting out). They need an amp that can keep good control of the woofers. At one point I had upgraded the x-overs with wonder caps and resistors,new 5-way binding posts and also made them bi-ampable.In my experience they performed very well with my Aragon 4004 and my Krell KSA100mkII,KSA250. Hope all the info helps. Please e-mail me if you have any questions,I will gladly help. Sincerely,Dave Geiss. Poltergeiss@comcast.net.

Oh ma does mention bring back memories.Kid in HS dorm had a pair in 1980 and they were to die for.Love to hear them with my KSA 300S not the S.A.E or Ampzilla of the day but will still like to hear the hippy tunes like Dead's Terrapin Station we heard after he opened them.Was green with envy!
