JBL L 26 Speakers, Late ' 70 ' S, Rare Blue Grille Cloth,




Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:20591449Brand: JBL
Original Description:
Mid ‘70’s vintage JBL L26 loudspeakers. Believe it or not, these were considered “bookshelf” speakers. 10” woofer 1.5 “ tweeter. Originaldrivers. Rare dark blue grill cloth, most were bought with brown or orange(yuck) grill cloth. Oak veneer. All grill pegs are there, original springloaded wire connectors. Minor scratches with one corner sort of flattened.Excellent, original condition. I’m thinning out my JBL collection so these haveto go. The “L” series by JBLca...pitalized on the popularity of the so-called “West Coast Sound” since moststudios mixed down on JBL Studio Monitors. The company heard that some peoplewere buying the 4310 3 way Studio Monitors for use at home so they tweaked thedesign and marketed the legendary L100. The crossovers and frequency cutoffswere changed a bit to fatten up the mids, but it was basically a home versionof the 4310. Many people could not afford a pair of L100s so JBL brought tomarket the L88 (2 way with a 12” woofer), the L36 (3 way with a 10” woofer), and the L26 (2 way with a 10” woofer). All the “L” Series JBL speakers wereproduced using the finest materials, heavy frame woofers with Alnico magnetsand could reproduce very high SPLs with a minimum of power input due to theefficiency of the systems. These can easily be mains in a home theater systemalthough I used these for a while as back surrounds. These were never pushed.These are over 40 years old, but they built them to last.These are heavy, 41 lbs. per speaker, so I will pack them inseparate boxes. I use custom cut blue board and bubble wrap with heavycardboard boxes so you get them in the condition they left in. With packagingthese can easily come out to 50 lbs. per box so SHIPPING WILL NOT BE CHEAP. Double the shipping estimate as these will ship in 2 boxes.Please do not try and lowball me on the shipping. I take a lot of time packingthese and I work a full time job so they will ship the following Tuesdayafter auction close. Again, please be patient, these are definitely worth it.I have taken all the pictures and then packed these up toget an accurate weight for shipping. Please do not ask for pictures of thedriver backs or wiring or whatever, as I will not unpack these just foresoteric questions. I have 4 sets of ‘70’s era L series JBL speakers for sale.Check my other auctions.Shipping to the lower 48 only. What you see is what you get.These are not new or pristine.  Noreturns.
