place your order for approx end July JBL L52 CLASSIC The JBL L52 Classic is special for its blend of vintage retro styling and modern acoustic performance. Its unique features include a genuine walnut veneer cabinet, iconic Quadrex foam grilles, and a front-firing bass-reflex port. It also includes a high-frequency level attenuator, allowing for analog-style tuning of the treble to suit personal taste or room acoustics. The vintage design of the L52 Classic features a genuine walnut wood veneer cabinet and choice of Quadrex foam grilles. Beneath this iconic exterior is a loudspeaker built from modern acoustic components, delivering legendary JBL sound sure to please any music lover. Designed as a scaled-down version of the award-winning L82 Classic, the L52 Classic is a two-way design utilizing a 0.75-inch titanium dome tweeter mated to an acoustic lens waveguide and a 5.25-inch white cone, cast-frame woofer. A premium crossover network design ensures optimum system performance while a front panel HF level attenuator allows the sound to be tailored to its environment. Enclosure tuning is bass-reflex via a front-firing tuned port and a set of binding post speaker terminals provide secure connection to speaker cables. The enclosure is finished in walnut wood veneer and includes a pair of threaded inserts on the rear panel for use with third-party wall mount brackets. Bass is powerful, sound is dynamic, and the soundstage presentation is exceptionally large allowing the loudspeakers to disappear into the room. For those who do not have the space for the larger Classic Series models, the L52 Classic doesn’t sacrifice great sound for its small size. Reviews "The JBL L52 speakers are something special and have a very unique appeal to this audiophile reviewer, who wasn’t even close to born when these speakers first came to market. From the moment I set them up, they didn’t just fill my room with sound… they added a whole new vibe in my listening room. There’s something about that vintage look, especially that classic knob, that makes the JBL L52s really stand out. It’s not just about how they sound (which is fantastic, relative to other speakers in their price range today), but also how they look and feel in my space. Listening to them has been a blast – the unique sound signature they bring is just as impressive as their retro look. Having these speakers around is like having a piece of audio art. They’re fun, they’ve got character, and they’ve been a real joy in both listening sessions and just as a part of my home. The JBL L52 Classic isn’t just a speaker… it’s an experience. If you end up getting a demo or just purchasing a pair of JBL L52 Classics, expect a wonderful mix of dynamic sound and a cool, nostalgic design." read the review Future audiophile speaker stands here Specifications classic 2-way design 8" Pure Pulp cone woofer with cast basket 1" titanium dome tweeter with updated acoustic lens and waveguide high-frequency attenuator on front baffle walnut satin wood veneer enclosure with famous Quadrex foam grille bass-reflex design with front-firing port upgraded crossover network improves imaging and soundstaging compatible with JS-80 stands (sold separately) frequency response: 44-40,000 Hz (-6 dB) sensitivity: 88 dB power handling: 25-150 watts impedance: 8 ohms dual gold-plated binding posts for bi-wiring/bi-amping dimensions: 11"W x 18-5/8"H x 12-7/16"D weight: 28 lbs.
