#91 JBL L100 Classic MKII: $5,599.90 per pair Crutchfield eBay
Older model: the JBL L100 Classic (ranked lower, estimated 3.7/5).
Same family: the JBL L82 Classic MkII (smaller bookshelf, ranked higher, estimated 4/5).
Pros: A high-output modern version of JBL’s iconic 1970s monitor, with a 12-inch woofer, dedicated midrange and adjustable mid/treble level controls. Erin’s measurements show excellent 0.152 on-axis smoothness, a tight 2.70 directivity-index deviation, and 41Hz estimated in-room extension. Measured bass extension of 50.5Hz (-3dB).
Cons: The response has a moderate -0.30dB-per-octave downward tilt and the bass alignment is somewhat resonant at Q 1.64. It is very large for a standmount, weighs nearly 59 lb each, and matching JS-120 stands cost extra.
