In Reply to: Just listened to a 34 year old pair of speakers and guess what? posted by mbnx01 on October 12, 2014 at 19:19:53:
I bought a set of L300s in 1980 as I was getting divorced and needed a small set of speakers. I had wanted the L400s but they were not in stock. I have really enjoyed them over the years and though I have found newer that in some way bettered them, I have not found any that overall are as well balanced. Positioned right they totally disappear. Sadly, like most small speakers they are best used nearfield in smaller rooms or they sound strained. I do think it may be getting time to recover them considering their age and that the woofer to tweeter transition is not as integrated as it used to be. Still not bad at all but just not quite as good.
