The L100, among others in the JBL lineup, are basically 1970's era furniture that happen to make sound when hooked up to a stereo system. If you look at them that way, they sound pretty good. The main drawback of the L100 is the size of the cabinet, it is too small for the 123A woofer. Last edited: Aug 15, 2023.
One little hint - if you like the L100 Classic's sound but balk at the $4K asking price (I did!) check out the 4312G Control Monitor. Weighs just a few pounds lighter (a bit less internal cabinet bracing) comes finished in the standard JBL black as opposed to walnut veneer and sculptured foam grille, has a woofer that's just a little lighter ...
Things I loved from the 60's and 70's. Subscriber. Feb 2, 2022. #1. I own a pair of KLH Fives and a pair of JBL L-88P speakers upgraded to L100’s. I used the L100’s for almost ten years and thought I was very happy. Five years ago I got a terrific CL bargain on the Fives. I replaced any bad drivers and recappedthem.
90db is highly efficient, perhaps, why JBL says the L100's can be enjoyed from a 20 watt amp. I have powered my 8 ohm L100t3's with amps delivering 5o to 560 watts per channel and I've got to tell ya I had no perception that 50 watts was too little power. Sterling1, Sep 8, 2021. #11.
The L100 is the consumer or "home" version of the 4310/11 monitor. As you. probably already know, a very popular speaker back in the day, and very. sought after if in anywhere near decent shape, driver re-coning is an issue. but whatever, it's just maintance. I've seen so so 4311's go for $350-$450,
Addicted Member. Jan 6, 2020. #2. L100 is more refined than the HPM100 for the most part. HPM100 is more aggressive than the L100 for the most part. HPM100 has a nicer cabinet. L100 has nicer components. Both perform well. Can't comment on the forte.
It's been generally accepted there were four versions of the L100, JBL added and dropped the "Century" moniker at will throughout the line (and others.) L100 inline. L100 offset. L100A (early) L100A (late) That said, the L100=L100A=4310=4311 (mostly)
Mar 26, 2013. #6. I have the impression that the L166 is superior to and more refined than the L100 / 4311 in terms of accuracy, with a flatter frequency response with better dispersion from the tweeter. Maybe not quite as much of a West Coast / peaky midrange sound. I suspect the efficiency is pretty similar.
The PDF link I provided shows the L100 sensitivity. There has been probably more written about the L100 than nearly any speaker out there. Google it! As for differences, appears there's not much: After much debate, it was decided to reconfigure the 4310 for its debut in the consumer division as the L100. A number of simplifications were made in ...
Apr 12, 2008. #2. i can see how advent and other eastcoast speaker fans may prefer L26 over L100. L100 can sound boomy at the bottom and too sharp at the top, and too colored overall if you're used to two way speakers like advent or klh. sometimes ever popular dynaco A25's are little too much for me.
