Invidiosulus Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 I borrowed a digital camera from a buddy of mine so I thought I would post some pics. The pics of my heresy's didn't turn out too well so I'm gonna wait until I can get better ones before I post pics of them. In the meantime here is a pic of one of my JBL L46 speakers. I wasn't too sure of the quality settings on the digital camera, something that I never have trouble with on my old fully manual pentax spotmatic. Unfortunately I left the Pentax at home last week when I was on spring break Peace, Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidiosulus Posted April 30, 2003 Author Share Posted April 30, 2003 Just another pic of the L46, which by the way has much deeper low end then the heresy. Not as clean on the low end but definetely(imo) better for reggae and other such bass happy music. However these are certainly lacking the midrange of the horn speakers.

Invidiosulus Posted April 30, 2003 Author Share Posted April 30, 2003 A not so great pic of my turntable. Peace, Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 Is that JBL a nice speaker? I'm not sure if I have ever heard any JBL before. Quit possible, just not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 Moon, They sound pretty good, as his were free. I recently had someone give me a pair of the L56 model, which has a 10 and a tweet. The L46 has an 8 in. woofer. These are older model JBLs, like early 80s. They have real walnut veneer on them and not vinyl junk. I have a pair of their studio monitors from 1972 (about $329 each at the time-list), the 4311, which is a three way (12 in. woofer, etc). The 4311 had a consumer brother which was the L100. These are all only about 89-90 db efficient. JBL still sells the 4312 in Japan. Mine even got used by Styxx to mix one of their albums on. They needed them for reference as the studio they were at were using some EV setup and they weren't used to them. Invidiosulus, I wondered why you left the camera at home. Saw it after you had left. I think the mids on the L46 would clear up at higher volumes. I noticed that the L56 model is rated at 150 watts continuous, where the 4311s are only menat to be driven by around 50 watts. Maybe if I cranks them up the mids will start to come through. BTW, we think the earthquake cracked the foundation a little bit. Not enough to cause other damage. Sure did rumble through here though. Haven't decided what to do with the Knight yet. I have schematics for a simple EL84 amp, with a 12AX7 front end. It would have less than half the parts of the Knight.

Invidiosulus Posted April 30, 2003 Author Share Posted April 30, 2003 There was an earthquake?? Peace, Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 When did you guys have an earthquake? We had one here last week. One in the Portland area and then one up on Washington state. I think there were a total of 3 earthquakes in 2 days in this area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invidiosulus Posted April 30, 2003 Author Share Posted April 30, 2003 The earthquake marvel was referring to must have been the one in alabama. It looks like it was fairly close since he is in north georgia. If only it had happened while i was home on spring break JK I hope the foundation is gonna be alright. I think I'll talk about cats now . Did the earthquake scare my baby kitty? Ok, back to speakers now. The L46 do have an ok midrange just not the same as the heresy The sensitivity on the L46 is about 86dB if I remember right and the power handling is 100 watts.

KAiN64 Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Nice speaker. What are you powering it with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easylistener Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 I had a pair of l65a. They were good speakers. Just sold them. They had great bass with the 12's. It had a glass tweeter, which was lacking the highs. They were has tough as nails and studio monators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidiosulus Posted May 8, 2003 Author Share Posted May 8, 2003 Hi Kain, I use a yamaha HTR-5540 reciever. Currently the JBL's are the surrounds in my HT system. Klipsch Heresy for the mains and a ksc-c1 for the center. Timbre matching not exactly. But it's what I've got. Peace, Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1stcav Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 Your L46's are very similar to my old 1983 JBL L112 Century II monitors. Handle 300 watts easy, and the bass is pretty deep for a 12" woofer. My younger brother uses them now, wired in parallel to his center channel on his harman/kardon AVR-55 AV receiver. Very impressive, and remarkably blend well with his Magnepan MGLR1 mains.
