#73 JBL L82 Classic MkII: $3,189.95 per pair Estimated Amazon eBay
Older model: the JBL L82 Classic (ranked lower, rated 3.9/5).
Pros: The 2023 update keeps the 8” pure pulp woofer and 1” titanium dome tweeter with a revised crossover, a cast frame woofer and bi-wire terminals, rated 44Hz to 40kHz (-6dB).
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared directly with measured speakers; the rating is estimated from its measured predecessor. At $3190 it costs more than the original.
