Thanks for the tips guys...keep them coming. If I went with the JBL's I would have to go with the orange grills....can't get more retro than that.

I am concerned the L100's will not give me enough of a "bass punch" and be able to dig deep enough. I suppose if that became an issue a sub may be in order.
L100's with 70's style orange grill should be arriving within the next week. Now I'm trying to unload my new(er) Cornscalas with xover upgrade. Really looking forward to the L100's.
They are indeed the Crites Conscala. $2,000 OBO but you have to come get them. They weigh in at 115 lbs each, and I'm taking a hit on them.
The L100's have landed. They sound great and are MUCH more accommodating in my smaller listening area. Thanks for the advice everyone.
