I don't know. They sure lost the plot of the classic look with the orange or blue foam grills. Not something I would want to look at every day.
No its real, its off the Supreme sight - they do frequent partnerships with 3rd parties and brand it with their brand. Typically pretty limited editions I think? Anyway its not for me (I'm too old and not hip enough) but it is striking... I would go for the L100 Classic or the 75th Anniversary.
Supreme's look interesting to say the least. Just cosmetic updates? Supreme®/JBL® L100 Classic Speakers (Set of 2) - Supreme Community Starting to think through a strategy to tame my unfortunate square room. The only good news is that it's a dedicated listening room so I can treat walls and position the speakers freely. Right now I have the 75's setup with Cardas calculations for square rooms. ~38% from the front wall. This near-field setup seems to sound best after playing around with different scenarios. However, with a small untreated room it becomes somewhat unlistenable after 30 minutes. Welcome folks thoughts on the treatment proposed on the image below (GIK alpha bass traps with diffusion in the front corners, absorption on the first reflection points and diffusion on the back wall). Room may be too small for diffusion to work properly on rear wall. Ideation phase for now. Will be doing room measurements this weekend with REW.

OK went nuts and ordered a set of the 75th Anniversary L-100s from Music Direct. You guys are killing me
Looks like I'm joining the JBL Classic L82 club, I picked up a secondhand pair on an online auction last night. This thread played a large part in my decision to buy L82s as I see a number of Yamaha amp users have enjoyed the combination. I'll be driving them with my Yamaha A-S 2100. Unfortunately I probably won't be able to buy the stands for a few months. I will also will have to rearrange my room to accommodate the stands. When I buy the stands I will also have to buy longer speaker cables so if anyone has any suggestions that would be great. Points that will impact it is I live in Japan and I'm on a budget. I hope the L82s live up to the hype as my wife wanted the JBL 4309s as they sounded better in the shop when we were up in Osaka a few weeks ago. However it was pretty hard to tell as all the speakers were lined and stacked along a wall in the shop. My system is in my bedroom and I often listen to music at low levels at night so as not to disturb other family members and I felt the L82s would be better at low volume than the 4309s. I hope I'm right about that!
I hold @Fruff76 personally responsible for this From one yinzer to another, thanks for your advocacy of this great speaker. I’m loving it!
Love that Great Day in Harlem picture so much. Greatest assemblage of geniuses since the Solvay conference.
Great set up but I gotta say it, your Mcintosh looks two times the weight of the table it's sitting on.
Guys, this thread reminds me that I need to post pics of my L100. I'm driving them with a Yamaha 3200. Excellent pairing imo. I've tried the L100 with a few different amps and yeah I'm happy. Any tips on posting pics here? Thanks
Yeah I thought about that. I did stand on the table and jump up and down before I put the amp on there. Sadly I outweigh the amp by a factor of x2.5… Good call out though.
Hey JBL L100 peeps… Kind of a weird post because I don’t know if anybody else on the planet has this need, but anyway. We have some remodel type demo and construction going on, and I was looking around for a cover for my JBL L100 75th to keep the dust off. I couldn’t find any purpose built for a price or delivery time that fit the bill, but I found these covers on Amazon that fit well enough to meet the requirements, thought I’d share them here in case anyone else is ever looking: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F8VGOK0 I only wish it had a cool JBL logo, but like I said for the price it seems like a good solution. Smokin’, so to speak Hope it’s useful to somebody, someday.
Or sheets, keeps the dust and cats away. I thought about using tie die sheets, check out the Dead shop maybe.
Would love to see how you have your JBL's placed. To post pics you have to first upload them to a 3rd party hosting site (I use Imgur). Then copy the 3rd party hosts provided link into the "image URL" window found in the image button in the taskbar above the chat window on this forum. It's not as awkward as it sounds once you get the hang of it.
Sometimes there are placement limitations that cannot be overcome... I might have a couple inches to adjust...but I'm happy with what I'm getting thus far. JBL75 01 by I did some system enhancements to the rig this week. I’d been looking for some bi wire cables (since the L-10075s can take them). I’ve been using AQ CV-8s for quite a while and liking them, but I felt it was time to try an upgrade. I bought an open box set of AQ Obsidian banana bi-wire cables. So far, so good. Without any real burn-in there are some fairly significant improvements in clarity and the overall presentation. The upgraded MAC DAC (DA2) should be here within the next 30 days, and that should end the need for any further improvements. I'm leery of bothering to have it installed because I'm happy with the current digital sound, but I want the HDMI input for the Beatles Get Back Blu Rays!
I use Postimages — free image hosting / image upload easy to do Once you upload a pic just 'copy' it and 'paste' here with your comment
