About JBL L250

Dear all,
few days ago I purchased second hand a pair of JBL L250. I really think they are simply fantastic and I am super excited about the way they sound in my setup.
I am trying to collect any kind of document about them, especially schematics, that could help me understanding if there is any electronic component that I should check and replace.
Suggestions and any kind of information are very welcome!

Thank you in advance
Gaetano
 
Hi,
Here is a catalog for the L250, originally from LH site library.

I'd advice you to register on Audioheritage.org, that where you will find the most information, and some of it not publicly viewable without the membership.

Greg Timbers, former JBL/Harman Chief Development Engineer, was one of the designers of the L250.
Greg mentioned the advantages of the asymmetrical L250 in his video interview with Erin's audio corner (highly recommend watching the whole interview if you are a fan of JBL).

He removed the drivers from his personal Everest speakers and made his own L250 style enclosure, see pic.
Thought it was a fun fact considering all the famous loudspeakers Greg Timbers designed, L250 clearly left a lasting impression on him.
