But the first album pick is Requiem for a Pink Moon, to make it easy for you to find it. Most of that music is music that would have been “in the air” during the 1970-to-1978 production run of the original version of JBL’s now-Classic L100. I have compiled a Qobuz playlist entitled Classic Albums for the JBL L100 Classic Loudspeaker. Requiem for a Pink Moon is the kind of recording that justifies the expense of a great stereo system-because a great stereo system can deliver the “shock of recognition” when you hear a breathtakingly natural recording of the human voice. More on Pink Moon, more on the social and cultural context of and the impact of the original L100, and more comments on the sound of the new one, after the jump. If I were still writing for Stereophile magazine, I’d put it in for the coveted “ $$$” high-value indication in the Recommended Components List.īut when you design a loudspeaker that has perhaps 80% of the bass and dynamics of loudspeakers costing four or five times as much (or even more I am talking about loudspeakers in the $15,000 to $28,000 range), but at 20% of the cost of the more expensive loudspeakers, there are, of course, going to be tradeoffs and compromises.
The L100 Classic is remarkably affordable, considering its dynamics and its bass performance. Even if the only thing you are giving up on is affordabilty. However, my take on the reality (of all such situations) is that every loudspeaker ever designed incorporates tradeoffs. I unhesitatingly recommend audition of the L100 Classic to anyone shopping for loudspeakers in their price tier. The first 60 seconds of Track 1 should convince you.
