L200 in Oak Veneer?

[Robh3606]

Hello Kevin

The grills for the L300 and L200 are completely different. The L300 had a box frame with streched fabric. It was 3 dimensional and used pegs to attach to the front. The L200 has a sculptured foam grill glued to what is essentially a custom aluminum door/window screen frame. So its entirely possible the frame is intact but the foam is normally long gone. The frame fit inside the enclosure walls. Remove an L300 grill and you have a flat baffle, remove an L200 and the drivers are recessed several inches from the cabinet edge.

Maybe it's "semi-mental" attachment?

I made replacement grilles (with all those vertical grooves) - darn if JBL didn't have some great looking grille designs!

When "nailing her down" - what size nails you plan on using? Sounds kinky. Can the rest of us watch?

Hey Rob,

I'm wondering if those are still the original mesh frames if they could be covered in a grill cloth material?

With the recessed drivers on the L200 were there any diffraction issues?

SOG,

Yeah I thought about adding a comment about some kind of "misplaced" sentimental value but I figured that would naturally be assumed.

As for nailing her down, that does seem a bit kinky but since I haven't met her yet, I couldn't tell you if she was in to it or not.

Along that train of thought, I'm sure you were wondering what I meant by "seeing them"

Well, I suppose I better be careful in case she tries to do some homework on these puppies and stumbles on to this site...
