Pete,
What a great story, and very nice work indeed. I've never owned JBL, but I really appreciate taking classic timeless equipment like this and not only restoring it to its full potential, but even improving it. It makes me wish I'd never sold my old Allison IIIs.

Pete,

I love reading stories like this. I applaud you for your dedication to the JBL brand and for resurrecting one of their timeless products with care and attention to detail. Very nicely done and thank you for sharing it with us!

The speakers look great. Did you refoam the LE14H woofers yourself?

Thanks guys, for all of the nice comments. I've learned quite a bit from it, especially when it comes to the networks.

Certainly Pete, an excellent project perfectly executed once again.
These comments have a common thread: passion.
Thanks for inspiring myself and probably many others here.

It seems like all the speakers should have been built that way.
So nice!!!!!!!

I have a pair of JBL LE15A's that need it, not sure how hard it is to do.
