JBL L36 loudspeakers
West Coast rock sound comes to town
We present you a very nice pair of JBL L36 A (A for the Alnico magnet fitted to the woofer). Equipped with a LE25-4 tweeter, and black grille pegs, we have probably here a later production model, probably around 1977.
If you are just discovering vintage hi-fi, you just need to know their reputation is truly deserved, the sound is fabulous and brings the most satisfaction on pop, rock, funk, metal and all dynamic music of the seventies/eighties.
These JBL are very sought after but second hand market present most of the time tired examples. Consider them as an investment if you buy from reliable source. You won't be disappointed.
