Over the years, the L100 became the bestselling loudspeaker in JBL’s history. In 2018, it brought you the JBL L100 Classic, a modern take on a time-honored legend. The Classic featured vintage styling, including a retro-inspired design and iconic Quadrex foam grille, along with newly developed acoustic technology and designs for elite performance. The L100 Classic Mk2 features performance enhancements to all three drivers, and a revised crossover network to include bi-wire/bi-amp capabilities.  The 1" titanium dome tweeter is mated to a waveguide with an acoustic lens for optimum integration with the 5" pure-pulp cone midrange driver directly below it. Powerful bass is provided by a 12" cast-frame, white pure-pulp cone woofer in a bass-reflex enclosure, tuned via a single front-firing port tube. The high-frequency and mid-frequency L-pad attenuators on the front baffle preserve the classic features of this iconic legend. Features Retro de
