JBL Classic L100 Classic MkII speakers are an updated version of the L100 Classic loudspeakers released a few years ago now – which themselves were an updated version of the 1970s classic. This MkII version is enhanced by JBL's ‘Performance Package’ which upgrades the drivers and features a new bi-wireable crossover.
The cabinet is in a real Walnut veneer and the Quadrex grill comes in three colours - Black, Blue or Orange.
New performance package
The new performance package mainly involves improvements to the drivers. The 30cm woofer has an improved knurled fibre membrane, this also has a rubber suspension. The 12.5cm mid-range unit is mounted off-centre to allow space for the forward-firing bass port.
Additionally, the woofer has a large voice coil and a new more powerful magnet system. The cast aluminium chassis is mounted with eight screws. The tweeter has a titanium dome, with a small scattering lens at the front, which helps to provide better dispersion of higher frequencies.
The result is improved sound quality – very dynamic and full of warmth as well as ambience, with a smooth mid-range and crisp treble.
Cabinet design
The JBL classic L100 MkII cabinets feature, real wood, walnut veneer. There is also a pair of tilted stands available. Next, the L100 MkIIs have an adjustable crossover that is also bi-wireable. Beneath the removable grilles, there are controls for treble and mid-range adjustments to tweak the sound slightly to suit your room. The cabinets have a rigid bracing structure, to reduce resonances.
