The L100. Arguably the most iconic loudspeaker of all time. 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 is a beautiful pair – we've refreshed the cabinets, replaced the tweeter foam, showcasing drivers with unmolested dustcaps. The grilles have been fresh cut using our exclusive process, with modern foam that will outlast your grandkids. We paint the foam using the same techniques JBL used nearly 50 years ago, this time opting for a beautiful Platinum Grey, for a one-of-a-kind look. For many vintage collectors, this is endgame. It's your move.
