75 years of JBL: 75 years of Loud + Clear!

My ears told me. I finally built my 3 way- 2 enclosures, heavy dampened, heavy braced, cement and fiberglass ballasted. Electronic X overed 3 amped, put in comparison with the jbl l100t , the jbl seemed to play behind a mattress. Clarity was lost detail was lost. I dumped them. Only kept the woofers. Fire place was happy.
I'm sure it was the bracing, cement and fiberglass that added clarity.:facepalm:

The DD67000 and K2 S9900 are finally going out of production. The last day to order in Japan, where I imagine there largest market for these speakers were, is June 30th.

Before the pandemic, in 2019, JBL had planned a new “Summit” series flagship for 2021. Hard to know in the present day and age if that is still coming.

It will be the first JBL flagship without Greg Timbers, Charles Sprinkle, or Doug Button — but An Nguyen did a stellar job with the HDI line, so who knows? Maybe it’ll be an active speaker.
 
Poor Greg Timbers!!! He was so kind answering my letters in the 80s and e mails later. He made amazing products. Anyone got the JBL L 100 review in Rolling Stone mag 1971??? I was a subscriber but lost all the old very good issues.
 
The Everest IIs were originally designed to celebrate JBL's 60th anniversary. They were a major statement speaker first released in Japan and then worldwide.

By ten years later for the 70th anniversary things were looking a bit bleak at JBL and they celebrated their 70th with these.

For the 80th, I will expect something like these but with additional graphics.
