I found these speakers at the local recyclers,got em for $10,they looked OK and just needed new woofer surrounds,I picked up a NAD 7020e receiver at the same time for $15. After a good cleaning pots ect... I tweaked the bias and DC offset and hooked the L&D speakers up.Well Id say my jaw hit the ground and bounced! What an excellent combination,I couldn't believe how good they sounded, this would be the best system Ive come up with yet(sonically),beautiful effortless highs,mid-range and bass.Id like to know more about these speakers but I cant find anything about them except they are made in Australia by Jorlen Audio industries PTY LTD. On the back is a sticker that says.System; 10", 3 way, 3 speakers. Frequency; 45hz-18000hz. Power;35 Watts RMS. Impedance; 8 ohms. They have Plessey shielded horn tweeters and 4 and a half inch Plessey shielded mid-range. I was expecting to see a sophisticated crossover but when I looked it was just a few capacitors? But nevertheless they sound awesome, not for full on rock&roll though I suppose.Any info on these speakers would be most appreciated. P.S I tried these speakers on a Sansui AU11000 amplifier,same deal awesome!!! Redrooster.
Hi Redrooster, I know I'm late, but I just joined this forum to reply to this post. It's the only info which comes up on a search for Jorlen L&D speakers.
My wife just sent me pics from a rural opp shop in Western Victoria of a pair for $10. I'll write a new post after testing them: I'm a bit excited after reading your report. Cosmetically, they look good apart from some surface rust on the tweeter surrounds.
Can't wait to drive them with my old Sansui's...
