Been a long time JBL guy from late seventies. My greatest failure was selling a mint pair of 4311b....stupid. Anyway, I purchased a pair of L46 that looks like museum pieces . No marks, pristine grills. The woofers were re-foamed by a guy in Utah that worked for JBL in their hay days. Perfection.
Was very surprised to hear the quality of their sound. I have been playing with a a pair of L3 that I assumed would be far superior. Nope. I loved the series with the white Aquaplas when I was young and poor. I really miss the old JBL. I have switched to RBH reference for my theatre, but these little guys will be my two channel for a while.
