You have a pair of L300s? I am recapping them but as far as getting them reconed,go with anyone that is reputable..If it's just surrounds,you can do that yourself.

Need reconing and recapping. Got them as a trade for a Mc6100 and a nice USA Stratocaster. Must have been 25 years ago.
Mike they are C36's with D130 and 075 bullet tweeters.
It's all about the music!
D130 strikes a chord in a 60+ year memory slot I associate with that JBL corner horn.
It had to be the Easter ham I ate at your house.You must not have cooked it all the way thru because ever since that day I had CRS. LOL

The first hi-fi speaker system I heard was a JBL corner-loaded folded horn, probably about 4' high. This would have been in the early 50s. It got me interested in audio. Does anyone have an idea about what model JBL that may have been?
Do they look like this?

Thanks Michael. Armed with the C34 model number, I was able to explore them on the internet, and it is clear that is the speaker that led to my HiFi awakening. A few years later, I was awed by the sound of the Hartsfield, but less so by the later Paragon.
I think so, although the grill cloth hides the cabinet a bit. "Blown away" is an over used term, but that's the effect it had on a 17 year old me. My previous experience was the output of my little RCA 45 RPM record changer through my Fender guitar amp. It inspired me to build a Wharfdale squeezed-lemon port speaker cabinet from some plans I got and to build a Heath Kit amp. That was the start of a long progression culminating many years later in Parasound JC 1 mono blocks driving KEF Reference 107/2s, sourced by an Ayre C-5xeMP through a JC 2 BP or Thorens 124 with SME III arm and Ortofon 30H cartridge through a JC 3 and the JC 2 BP.
