JBL L36 speakers, any good?

[Damn Noise!]

Found these on Craigslist and the guy wants $250, any good?
I looked around the 'net and some seem to like them and other don't...
The ad say's excellent condition.
Thank you in advance. Rock on.

I have not listened to that model - as always check the woofer surround.
Are you on a vintage speaker hunt - or looking for something in general?

I like 'em. Basic 3-way JBL bookshelf from the mid 70's with a 10" woofer. I've got their little brother, the L-26, same thing but with no midrange connected to my Marantz 2230 of the same era. Hard to beat when playing classic rock in it's native format.

If they are in good shape, I'd strongly consider it, but I know what they sound like. You might not.

Now, for HT, might want something a little more modern with a matching center channel, surrounds and more power andling capacity.

They are on Craigslist and my Cerwin Vega's AT-10 lack a little.
I don't want to spend a lot so I've been checkin' locally. Rock On.

Thanks I have the Klipsch "Quintet" for HT and they sound pretty good.
Maybe I'll go check them out and see if I can get them for $200.
Rock On.

The L36's sounded fairly good from what I remember but that was a long time ago. If you can find some 4311s (or even L100s) I would definitely look at those as that was one of the best sounding speakers I've ever listened too. Of course I'd only buy a set if you can still get replacement parts though.
