[Vintage-Audio] Re JBL Differences

Bob, 	

Thank you. If I am not in error, the L-200 was a two-way and was a studio
monitor. Is this correct? 	

I have had no success in locating either Century L-100 or L-300 in two years. I
have found one pair, but could not close the deal. Way too much money! Not going
to spend big dollars, sight unseen and not being heard. Not good when they
arrive and I have to have them rebuilt! 	

Looking around at what is available today, I sure do not find anything I like
very well. What, in your opinion, is comparable to the Century L-100 or L-300?
Allowing for your dislike of the highs, or lack thereof.  	

What about the Electro-Voice EV-12 or EV-15 series. Any specs on them? I have
never seen a pair for sale, the foam suspension broke down and they got tossed
most of the time. Sad too. Good speakers I am told, and they can be fixed for
about $50 per woofer.

The JBL company developed a very successful studio monitor, the 4320 
that was a big heavy box. Wanting a smaller product for small 
studuios, the developed a smaller one, the 4310 and with a fancy foam 
grill, moving the tweeter and mid back to the plane of the woofer and 
with a change in management it became the L-100 or "Century". It has 
a 12 inch woofer, 6 in mid and an cone tweeter. The highs suffered 
from the poorly placed tweeter and they changed to more dispersive 
tweeters subesequent versions of the L-1xx series.

The L-300 is a 15 inch version of the L-100, in a bigger cabinet 
although not the size of the 4320 and has the LE-85 mid and 077 
tweeter. I've never seen one.
