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

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.

It´s a massive build "bigger" copy of the JBL Bi-radial 2344a horn´s, but i made them go spheric.
Weight 25 kilos each without driver with sandwich construction at mounting plate for driver (3 layers with acoustic glue between), so no vibrations there
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.

Yes, but a little bigger one 😉
Here is the JBL 2404h and mine to get an idea of size.

I have to correct you. The depicted ones are the butttitties horn. An original Swedish invention.
Cheers!
I thought the official name for that horn style was butt cheek. Does 38DD also work for butt cheeks?
Just scaling everything up.
What is that?
Often called that.
2344/2342 Bi-Radial horns used in the 4425/30/35 and 3678, and maby someone more
