JBL L100 Classic
The JBL L100 Classic is a bookshelf speaker. Documentation on this model is thin in the archive. What is confirmed comes from JBL's own product materials, and the gaps are real.
The speaker pairs a 300mm (12") pure pulp cone woofer with a 25mm (1") titanium dome tweeter, crossing over at 800Hz and 4.5kHz. It is a bass reflex design with a front-firing tuned port. It is rated at 8 ohms nominal with 90dB sensitivity (2.83V/1m). JBL recommends an amplifier between 25 and 200W RMS, and the frequency response is stated as 40Hz-40kHz (-6dB).
The L100 name has history behind it. HiFI-Stereo (June 1989, p.77) noted that JBL's Fizrtsfield corner-horn model was its most-requested speaker ever, and that the successor model upheld a tradition of craftsmanship and innovative engineering.
Not documented here: production years, original price, dimensions, weight, and any independent measurements or long-term reliability data. The specs above are single-source, drawn from JBL UK's product page. If you own a pair and have the manual or box specs, the archive would welcome the details.
