Name: JBL L100 Century // Speakers / New Foam Grilles
Brand: JBL
SKU: 7467467571421
Availability: OutOfStock

The L100. Arguably the most iconic loudspeaker of all time, made famous by a particular Maxell ad. There was a period in the 70's the L100 outsold all other speakers combined, yet it never ceases to amaze us how rare it is to find a vintage example in good condition. This pair can show their age a bit in places, but overall, these are excellent, and they've been the shining star of our listening room since we finished them. Please review the photos, and tell us what you think.
