Guys,
I came across a local listing of 2 pairs of JBLs--L1 and L20t3 for $40 a pair. I haven’t heard them yet but seems like a good deal. I could not find any reliable reviews on the web. Can you tell me which is the better speaker, and which one would sound more lively and detailed?

PS: also feel free to tell, if they are not worthwhile considering my current gear.

The VS260 is a better speaker

However, for $40 a pair - the L1 is a nice deal

Thanks. Any idea how the treble would be voiced compared to the VS260? What about the L series itself, is it mid-level or high level series?

The treble on the L series is mid level - the VS260 is more smooth and detailed

The Lx series was the top of the consumer line back in the early 1990's. Not sure how they would stack up today against the newer JBL consumer line stuff. I still have a pair of L7 that I'm using as side surrounds in my 11 speaker setup. The L1 was meant to be used as a surround speaker for an L5/L7 main speaker setup.
