JBL L100 Classic Loudspeaker (each)
“Big, bold, and dynamic... If it fails to raise a smile or gain our affection, well then surely we have no heart.”
— PHIL WRIGHT, DARKO AUDIO
“As expected, the combination of large bass driver and generous cabinet delivers an impressively powerful bass performance, but instead of the unwieldy sledgehammer approach we were expecting, we get class-leading agility. There’s lovely texture to lows and some impressive definition when it comes to discriminating between different bass sounds.”
— WHAT HI-FI?
“They were not only able to separate instruments within a crowded soundfield, but they also was able to place dynamic distance between instruments, groups of instruments, and vocals. The JBL L100 Classics were very non-fatiguing, the upper midrange and treble sounded like music. They are modern speakers with a classic look, and what makes them modern is their high-end sound.”
— TOM LYLE, ENJOY THE MUSIC.COM
