In Reply to: "old-style" JBL monitors...pros and cons? posted by glue on March 30, 1999 at 23:19:19:
I've lived long enough to know the JBL, Altec, and Klipsh were the speakers to have, during the hayday of tubes, but disappeared with big powerfull transistor amps and air suspension speakers fostered by AR.
However, I recently read a very fine review of the JBL L-90 in "Hi-Fi Choice", with their 91 dB's sensitivity, so I thought I would audition a pair. I went to a local dealer and asked if they handled JBL, or if they new anybody who did. I could see the salesmans upper lip curl as he retorted that "they sell only quality audiophile gear here, and that I might try Curcut City", as he disappeared behind his "Grand Slam Wham Alla Kuzzams" and I disappeared out the front door.
You will note that "The Absolute Sound" gave the JBL LSR-32 a fine review in their April issue, with a sensitivity of 90 dB's they should do very well with low wattage tube amps, just as they did in their hayday of the 60's and 70's.
