JBL L100 Classic

JBL L100 - A new classic is born!

The L100 Classic is a reincarnation of the legendary JBL L100 from 1970, which is JBL's best-selling speaker of all time. Almost 50 years later, it is now here in a new and improved version. The classic design has been retained and stands out with the delicious walnut veneer, the angled foot and the characteristic front grill in Quadrex patterned foam.

The technology in the L100 Classic is also completely new, and uses many of the experiences that JBL has gained over the years between these two loudspeakers. This has resulted in improved units, crossovers and construction, and the L100 Classic is therefore in every way a classic that has had new life breathed into it.

The new L100 Classic uses a newly developed 1" titanium tweeter, which is mounted in a waveguide to provide wider dispersion and integration with the 5" midrange located directly below it. To handle the low frequencies, JBL has equipped the L100 Classic with a 12" woofer with molded chassis and the characteristic white paper diaphragm. The woofer is installed in a cabinet system where the bass reflex can be easily adjusted via the front-mounted port output. To adjust the level of the treble and midrange the familiar HF and MF transducer arrangement is located at the top of the front baffle.

The L100 Classic is simply a fantastic, well-playing speaker that, with its mighty 12" bass unit, can bring life to any music. The speaker is available with different colors of front grills.
