JBL L26 update

The JBL L26's got finished off last week and I have been enjoying them exclusively along side of the Pioneer HPM-60's.

There is something about the early JBL's that is wholly unique to these speakers. The bass is just super tight and full, the mid range is not the best on the L26's but the high end is clearly there and it is like a concert in your living room. The fullness and attack more than make up for the mid range. These are fantastic speakers to own and I am glad I am experiencing my second pair.

JBL L26 Decade

Another pair of JBL L26 speakers arrived this week and these will need the full makeover. This project will include a re foam, re cap of the crossover, new banana plug terminals on the rear and a re finish on the veneer.

I look forward to hearing these speakers again and perhaps I will do a L26 vs. HPM-60 shoot out.....might as well since I have both speakers.

Visonik Euro 7 Speakers


A pair of Visonik Euro 7 speakers arrived last Friday night and I have had the weekend to enjoy these incredible speakers. The drivers are very reminiscent of Braun or A/D/S/ L710 models with twin 6.5" woofers, the unmistakable dome tweeter and the super airy dome tweeter.

The cabinets are a tad bit rough but some elbow grease will get the real walnut veneer back in order.

Sonically these speakers are very close to my Dual CL390's that I love so much. I think this pair of speakers will be keepers in the collection.

More to come on these wonderful speakers.
