Description

I am considering moving in to a smaller place , and I'm sure these won't fit . I have had them for about 5 years . REALLY nice condition . The JBL L200B is a two-way StudioMaster speaker featuring a 15-inch woofer, LE85/HL91 horn tweeter, and a bass reflex enclosure with 150W nominal power handling. Drivers and Frequency Range The L200B uses a 38 cm (15-inch) cone-type woofer for low frequencies, designed with a die-cast mass control ring on the voice coil to ensure stable piston motion and smooth operation at high amplitudes . The high-frequency section features a horn-type tweeter combining the LE85 driver with the HL91 horn lens, providing 90° horizontal and 45° vertical dispersion and excellent transient response . The LE85 employs an ultra-thin aluminum foil diaphragm, an Alnico V magnet, and an edgewise-wound aluminum ribbon voice coil for high efficiency . Enclosure and Design The speaker uses a bass reflex system with a sloped front panel similar to the L300 series, enhancing sound projection and imaging . The front grille is made of air foam for sound transparency and was available in four colors: blue, red, gray, and black . The L200B was typically offered in a walnut finish, reflecting its 1970s StudioMaster heritage . Power Handling The L200B has a nominal power handling of 150 watts and a music power rating of 200 watts, suitable for home or studio use . The two-way network uses the N200B crossover, specifically designed for the L200 series . 800 Hz . .
