JBL TLX110 (1994)

The JBL TLX110 is a small two-way bookshelf speaker released in 1994 as part of JBL's TLX Series. Per the period documentation, the line was developed so you could enjoy music at a size that fits your room. It was priced at ¥42,000 for a pair at launch. The record on this model is thin. No period reviews have surfaced, and most of what's known comes from a single Japanese audio database entry.

The specs show a compact bass-reflex design. The woofer is a 13 cm cone with a high-rigidity paper pulp and corn paper diaphragm. The tweeter is a 2.5 cm titanium-laminated soft dome. The crossover sits at 3 kHz, impedance is 4 Ω, and frequency response is rated at 60 Hz to 25 kHz with an output sound pressure level of 89 dB/2.83V/m. Recommended amplifier output is listed at 10W - 50W. At least one secondary source claims the speaker can handle up to 100 watts RMS, but the manufacturer figure is the safer one to go by. Dimensions are 170 × 300 × 180 mm (W×H×D), and it weighs 3.6 kg.

The enclosure has a calm, furniture-grade finish. The bass reflex port is on the rear to keep the mid and low range clean. The speaker terminals sit at the bottom of the rear baffle, so cable runs stay short and tidy.
