My review for the new JBL L82 classic speakers. A speaker that anyone can dig, enjoy and get down with. These play music with musicality vs analytical dissection.

I agree with everything you say. I have had ProAc, Klipsch, B&W and alot of other speakers the last 30 years. I stop here, beacause I finally found a speaker that plays jazz, classical and rock. Together with my McIntosh MA252 with Genalex Gold Lion tubes….it’s magic. My hunt is over. I have orange grills as well. Thank you for always delivering informative and tone downed intimate reviews👍 Greetings from Norway😊
Thanks for this review. Beeing a professional musician and sound engineer, growing up in a family of professional musicians, the majority of what I see and hear out of the audiophile camp, at least to me seems to be hilarious and completely out of touch with the essence of music. So this review really spoke to me. A speaker is an instrument after all. It's there to convert "technical stuff" into music again, to transmit the vibes created by the musicians, the emotions, to bundle and project whatever happened in front of the mics. And it's ok if they favour the music. Just like you said. Again, thanks for your work, stay safe mate!
Are you referring to audiophiles focusing on specific aspects instead of how “musical” they are?
Really connected with this review, I can barely make it through most on CZcams. Thank you
Thanks for the great review. I am trying to decide between these and the 100's. These sound like they might be a better fit as my room is 12 x 20. My only concern is that every once in a while I really like to turn up my music to a dangerously loud level for a song or 2. Do these deliver at loud volumes?
Interesting you kept the JBLs. In my perception, you were much more enthusiastic about the Heresy's.
I love just listening to music also. This is a awesome speaker! Brings back memories from my fathers old B&W's from the 70's. If looking for something with this presentation but a more reasonable price check out the Tekton Lore. The Lore make music just sexy and not analytical. Makes you just feel it with passion.
Your audio reviews are excellent. We share hobbies. HIFI and cameras even though audio is a much more expensive hobby. Just added these ones to my "B" system list.
JBL specs state 8ohm 88db, why do you say not so easy to drive? Should be able to drive these with a decent tube amp.
Very well explained and accurate for that matter!🤔😬😉😇 Have you ever heard the JBL Studio 5 series line? I suppose the 530's would be the closest match! That's the line I have with 590 towers upfront. But you're comparing bookshelves so that's why I mentioned the 530's. It's a compression horn loaded driver so it's a little different but they are fantastic!😬 I also have 2 JBL 520p 10 inch sealed Subs that sound Fantastic for their price point. My systems both a home theater and 2 channel unlike yours which seems to be more 2 channel but you get the point.😇
I'm planning on getting into Vinyl been looking at the white gloss Pro-ject X1, and these speakers sound and design especially with the orange grills will look and hopefully sound great together
Cool to see you do hifi now 😀 I used to follow you because of the photo reviews. Now I’m not so much into photography anymore and I meet you again, nice!
How about driving the JBL's with a vintage Yamaha integrated amp, say a CA-1000?
Listened to it but can never beat my L96 by a mile.
I'm looking for a speaker to pair with my vintage Yamaha CR-2040 receiver. It's never leaving, so I want a speaker that will stay with it. This seems to fit the bill. Great review!!
Thanks for the review. I have been on a quest for "musical speakers".for the same size room that you have. Did you listen to the Wharfendale Lintons? ($1500 w/stands) Both are on my short list.
Does the bass reflex tube have to look outwards or does the tweeter have to look outwards?
Wondering if anyone's heard the smaller L52 Classic? I'm interested in both.
Ive had the L52s for about 2 years now and absolutely love them! I have them paired with rel sub. Still impressed with them.
Hi, does anyone know, the sound is similar to the JBL NORTHRIDGE E 50, they are more or less the same size
Well done. Nice review.
Cheers for this review. Any chance you can speak to the main differences between these and the Special Forties? They're both on my radar at the moment, but unfortunately there are no dealers where I live stocking both brands for a direct comparison. Thanks!
I think it is a very narrow view to put high-end speakers automatically on the cool and analytical side.
This shouldn’t be the case, period. If your high-end speakers sound cool or analytical, they are just non high-end, that’s it.
Unfortunately the « audiophile » world we live in produce some very bad speakers that’s it. Starting with those absolutely harsh sounding Klipsh horns or those diamond B&W tweeters.
High-end speakers should be flat and detailed but also rich and smooth. They should not be a chirurgical instrument or it’s just a poor execution. We’re here for the music or we lost our soul in the game.
My Focal Sopra 3 are definitely high-end, but they’re not how you describe high-end speakers, not at all. They’re just coherent. They sound refined of course, and very detailed but also gorgeously smooth.
I'm really interested in these. It'll take me a while to save up for them though. I agree with your sentiments on expensive yet cold / dry audiophile speakers. I listen to a lot of metal and the last thing I need is having all those (intentionally) rough recordings being beamed right at me. Imo texture, not detail, is king. Though this is just my opinion.
Hello David, I kind of piggy backed a review down below if you are interested? These are very good speakers and the dealer I use believes they have a much better sound than the L100's.
You made a test with the CORNWALL IV in your small room - was that satisfying to you? or is your room just too small?
Would these be good good death metal? Or the heresy? Death metal is my fave genre but also listen to a lot of ambient, smooth jazz, and indie pop. Trying to put together of a short list of speaker to audition.
How about experimenting with mixed set?
I use warm left channel proac Response d2 for heft and right the famously neutral (closer to boundary) Kef Reference 201/2 gives me better than either, slightly less etched than Kef alone but still 3d with diffusion and heft.
Thumbs up for that outro jam!
I am glad these are warm the L100’s classics were thin.
thank you. great review.
how would you compare the L82 with the New L1O0 ?
The L100's are older than the L82. They came out quite a while ago where the L82's were last year. L100's are much larger, so a larger sound.
Wow, you got rid of the QLN Prestige 3's ?? ....for these ?? That says a lot about these JBL's.
I didn’t know bill burr was reviewing speakers now
Your Content Are Awesome i Mean I like It
Where did your Leica reviews go?!
I would like to listen to them both but I would have to say my cerwin-vega sl-15 would be better value for the 💰 🤑 and they would dominate them both
Have you had chance to compare them with Harbeth?
Also, how bad it gets when you put the grilles on?
I'm sure they still sound fantastic with the grills on. I would be annoyed staring at those cheap plastic nubs sticking out of $2500 speakers...
@@Matasky2010 Yeah, I bought L100s Classic in the end, and keep the grilles on. Not as pleasant as Harbeth, but quite nice speakers. They rock in my living room :)
Where did they go?
Sweet review and gear, man. So, I have some JBL Stage A130s, and I want to get the JBL L52s for side by side comparisons. I plan on powering them with my Denon PMA-600NE amp. The L52s are 4 ohm, so that will mean a 70 watt/channel load.
You need to try Audio Note AN-E-K!
i almost died when a saw the price, I rather cut some from and put them on a pair of British speakers.
Wow! Are you into personal space Hifi as well? We'd love to partner with you for equipment reviews. I'll send you an email.
$2,750/pair is a joke for tiny 8"...
You obviously haven’t heard of Sonus Faber, then.
buy a fender telecaster instead
Chinese pile of poop.
There are a plethora of vintage 70's/80's 2 ways out there.
If the JBLs aren't bass prominent you need a bigger amp. They should boom as a rock and roll speaker should.
If it was built in the US, it’ll be 25% more expensive.
Sir I m from india sir I want to no how my brother died plz hw can I get and who much cost is...plz reply sir
Hlo sir ap Mari bhn s bi bat kariy our phuchiy uski deth Ka kya reason h
That is small scale „coward“ music. You state in the review that the L82’s have the best drum rendition out of all the speakers you have heard. A big funk band, rock, edm, large scale orchestra - that would be a meaningful music for a review. But you do the same as all reviewers / manufacturers: play small scale music to hide the shortcomings of audio systems: bass, cohesive timing and dynamics !!!
Because you're really going to understand how something sounds through an in-room mic sound down sampled, pumped through CZcams, and then your own computer speakers/headphones.
Most speakers have problems in coherence, speed, bass quality and timing. And you can hear that immediately , even on CZcams. Check out CZcams channels where they mostly use the same song on every system like soundex review, alpha audio, avshowreports. If the timing is not right, then I don’t really need to understand the rest of the qualities, John Fiebke.
I have these. They do great for the genres that you just named.
