Description :
The JBL L100 Century speakers are the embodiment of impeccable, quality craftsmanship and state-of-the-art engineering, and faithfully delivers what is known to devoted audiophiles as the "incomparable JBL sound". The L100 delivers rich, robust sound. At low frequency, sound reproduction is well-defined and solid, without unnecessary accentuation of bass tones. Midrange reproduction is incredibly crisp and detailed, and at high frequency reproduction is crystal clear with great transparency. Furthermore, the inherent lack of distortion and smoothness of the L100 allows for long hours of tireless listening. In handling power, the L100 seamlessly combines the two common attributes of compact speaker systems; it handles high input power effortlessly, and yet is able to deliver satisfying output with little input power. It is no surprise that the L100 Century was the best-selling loudspeaker during its time, and continues to be widely sought after today.
