JBL C71 Verona (c. 1973)
Documentation on the JBL C71 Verona is thin. The record is essentially a single database listing. It says the C71 was a modular speaker system built around the L71 Verona enclosure, and that JBL sold it as a combination of enclosure and drivers priced at ¥122,700 per unit around 1973. The cabinet measured 930 x 700 x 450 mm (W x H x D).
The C71 could be assembled with several different driver and network combinations. The listing names four: the 130A woofer with LE175DLH compression driver and N1200 network; the D130 with 075 tweeter and N2400; the LE14A with LE175DLH and LX10; and the LE14A with LE20 tweeter and LX8. So the same enclosure could be voiced as a two-way with a horn, or with a cone tweeter, depending on what the buyer wanted. That fits JBL's pro-oriented thinking of the era, where components were meant to be mixed and matched.
Beyond that, the record goes quiet. No production years, weight, frequency response, sensitivity, or crossover frequencies are documented. No period reviews have surfaced, and no owner reports exist in the available material. If you have a pair, the driver complement stamped on the back of the network is your best clue to how it was originally configured.
