At 34 years of age, I remember that around 1982/83? I had mowed lawns all summer to save up to buy a car. But one day a neighbor gave me a nice receiver from his basement, now a vintage Pioneer, but I needed speakers. I went to the local Hi-Fi store and bought a pair of Yamaha's, I didn't like them, they exchanged for a pair of Klipsch speakers. Still, my young ears weren't satisfied and these speakers seemed a little brittle and weak. I went back, sure they'd be upset with me. I settled(?) on a pair of JBL L46's which I still have and begun the obsession. My mother asked me how I'd get to school on those, my bike sufficed for another year.

I have been using your L101 speakers daily since 1973 and continue to be thrilled by their performance. Although I have upgraded all other components in the past 30 years to high end products, I have not heard a speaker I prefer to them. Recently,Paul Messinger reported in Stereophile that the JBL S9800 with beryllium drivers will be availble in the US Marketplace (as opposed to their current availability in Japan). I would certainly consider their purchase. Please send information

Great site! I would like to see photos and literature on type c36 enclosures with jbl model n2600 frequency level control and mfg. dates These are the second pair I have been fortunate enough to find. They sound great, are very efficient with various power sources At 8 ohms, though the terminals are for 16 or 32 ohms. Thanks to those who can help. Dan andersen

Hi, Don; I just happened to buy an ALTEC 6041, just around the year end. I settled them at my Summer House. During the New year vacation, I enjoyed their first voice. It can not only be used through a builtin network but also by direct connection with multi-channel eloctronic crossover. I am looking forward to taming these as my favorite speaker. They were sold just below $2,500, a good buy.

Being young and British I'd only really heard of JBL untill I got a job at a conference centre which still has akk it's stock dating back to the mid 60's. Hunting around one day I came across some Altec 1233's in a store and decided to fire them up and much to my surprise they sounded outstanding my mananger then decided he wanted to sell them so after some hunting on the internet I came across this fantastic site and I've now spent the whole day rivetted to the seat! I still haven't been able to find anyhting in the models I found so If anyone has any info it woul dbe much appreciated cheers!!

Musician user of JBL products since 1977. JBL, it's like HAMMOND organ, unrivalled, concepted for sound performances on stage,recording studio, cinema, theatre, great concets shows, and so directly descended from professional technology, and cleverness, knowledge of technical supremacy. JBL is really a real manufacturer,not an gatherer, all JBL products are made entirely by JBL, a power! JBL is at the origin of high fidelity, and at the origin of great discoveries in the world of sound. For me, JBL is the world greatest loudspeakers and sound systems manufacturer, with the greatest experience since more than 70 years of research. today JBL more than ever is an innvator, and what do competitors? unfair competition they make copy! EON speaker for exemple, 4530, 4520, in the 70's have been copied all over the world, cabinets sometime with JBL speakers in ! The original still will stay the best. JBL the greatest name in audio applications.

I'm 46 years and since 1977, I use JBL only because it's the best. JBL makes all and with 70 years of experience and great discoveries in technicals research, JBL has still been the great manufacturer all over the world. I know what i tell, because I'm so a jazz player on Hammond Organ B3. All my Leslie cabinet have JBL speakers. I never had a plush with JBL. I still use so E155 since 1985 in bass, what a great sound!! I would like JBL more present in FRANCE.

I will always remember seeing the Paragon at the HiFi show in a hotel in Washington, DC with my dad in either 1957 or 1958. They were playing music performed by George Wright on the Wurlitzer Organ. I was very impressed. I would have been 9 or 10 years old. I remembered the Paragon and searched eBay, only to find them there from time to time. I wish that I were rich enough to own one. They are truly a classic. Thank you.

Brings back my teen years (1960s) listening to a homemade speaker cabinet system composed of various Lansing drivers,15" driver in a folded horn configuration, Mid and High frequency horns, using homemade push-pull 10 watt per channel tube amplifiers with a Thorens 33 1/3 belt driven turntable. My friends thought I was an eccentric person even as a teen. Most of my friends had portable Hi-Fi or stereo systems with early transistor intergrated amps/turner am only and a funky turntable (Record Player)that played 45s and 33 1/3 records. There systems looked much like suitcases that sounded tinny and boxie! Thus my elabroate (to me anyway) Stereo system (All Vacuum Tubes) amps, FM Turner with seperate multiplex adapter (Good Grief Don! FM! What's wrong with AM?). And no 45 rpm disc, just 33 1/3 albums, classical, Jazz, Big Bands, What wonderful times I had enjoying music on my homemade system. And what I really remember the most and miss them terrably even today, was my homemade speaker cabinet system composed of various Lansing drivers,15" driver in a folded horn configuration with Mid and High frequency horns. Today I have some great homemade sub-woofers enclosures 15" drivers (3 each) and very nice Polk Monitor RTA12Cs all driven by 5 Parasound Ultra High Current Amps. Nice system but I would trade this system in for my old system without blinking. It was very different / somewhat mechanical or industrial / analog...BUT I LOVED THEM. Thanks so much for your wonderful site. Those early Hi-Fi engineers designed and pioneered great equipment. Thanks Again. Regards: Don Scheer

I used to own a pair of C60 Soveriegn I S8R's with graphic controller and energizer and have missed their sound and dynamic power for a long time. I've listened to many speakers costing tens of thousands of dollars and have yet to find much in today's so-called high-end audio that can compete with 30 to 40-year old JBL flagship systems like the Paragon, Hartsfield and Soveriegns! I am looking to build my own system using 2226, 2450 and 2402 JBL Pro drivers with Dr. Bruce Edgar's Tractrix horns and bi-amplification. I know this site will be a wealth of useful information.

Your Site is very good and informative , till 1985 we have and hear Altec / JBL Horndriver and woofers like 414 8a . a lot of People means that Horndriver is not good for High-End Musicreproduction, but we find that the Driver and Woofer from Altec are so definite work that mistakes from Amps and Cabel will be hearable.our Company built Amp's, Cable's and parts that work's neutrally. for Informations look at our Homepage.

I have always been a JBL enthusiast. Being brought up around a pair of L100's it fueled my love for all types and genera's of music. This is by all means the best JBL site out there. I have been browsing since the beginning of the net. I have owned two pair's of L36 Decades, but only have the pair I still need to rebuild. My love for quality sound has been fueled by JBL exclusively!!!! I had found a 12" JBL signature series driver and have no information regarding this driver, nor have had any luck finding any info on it or the series. Alas I no longer have the driver. Only the pin from the cabinet. Old school JBL's is the best. Thanks for a wonderful site........ I hope the guestbook will help fuel more pages and information on the site. Keep up the good work, very impressive!

My best compliments. It's really a great site! I had been in the JBL factory in 1976 as a journalist and visiting your site I have renowed the wonderful sensations that I have proved at that time. Tanks, Marcello.

Wonderfull Site! What a facinating tour of JBL history. JBL is responsible for many of my greatest memories while growing up in the Winnipeg,Manitoba area back in the early seventies. Every nickle I had (and made) was invested in my Hi-Fi system. JBL 4350's tri-amped with Crown amps and JBL Electronic Crossovers represented a 20,000 dollar investment that should never have been sold, but alas, the new wife did not see it that way. Thanks for the memories Ken

(Excuse my english...) Thank you for that site. I was "linked" to it from the audiocircuit.com... What a surprise to discover your real good work and extreme care to achieve a comprehensive history. As a music lover for many years and former retail seller, I had the chance to hear and "test" for hours and hours many models from JBL. I have personally owned Decade L36, then L100...then Jubal L65... L200 and L300. Later on I bought a pair of monitor 4350 when I started to work in the recording business. All of these speakers gave me real pleasure and "educated" my ears to precise listening; comparing different amplifiers (HK Citation, SAE, McIntosh...) tone arms, cartridges... each JBL model was a kind of magnifying glass allowing to evaluate the quality of sound production for records or radio programs. Don't forget the little but "incredible" bookshelf L50... If you ' ve got them, never sell them! Great website... (I can find there many documents that lacked my own collection). I 'll be back soon and I'll talk much about it. Thanks.

I have an opportunity to buy a pair of L200's. Rumor has it that the base is not particularly accurate because of construction of the woofer. Wonder if the speaker could be rebuilt to a L200B. My main iterest is single ended vacuum tube Hifi where speakers must be very efficient. Thanks. Paul
