JBL CF150
The JBL CF150 is a 3-way floorstanding loudspeaker, and the record on it is thin. No production years, original price, or place in the JBL lineup have turned up in the available documentation. What exists is one set of published specifications.
Going by those specs, the CF150 is a big speaker. It stands 985 mm tall and weighs 24.5 kg. It has a 250 mm low-frequency driver and a 25 mm titanium tweeter, with crossover points at 900 Hz and 4 kHz. Power handling is rated at 200 W, with a recommended amplifier range of 10 - 200 W. Sensitivity is 89 dB and nominal impedance is 6 Ω. Frequency response is listed at 35 Hz to 21 kHz.
Beyond those figures, almost nothing is recorded. There is no collector market data and there are no documented common failures or maintenance notes. A contemporary review of similar JBL speakers appeared in Audio (1998, p.97), noting power handling and frequency response specifications.
