Description
JBL TLX 5000 speakers. HI-FI Stereo. Classic Vintage. Fully revitalized.
In 1928, James Bullough Lansing, an electrical engineer at Bell Telephone Laboratories, designed the sound system for “The Jazz Singer,” the world’s first sound film to be shown in Hollywood. In 1946 he founded the company James B. Lansing Sound Inc. (later the name was shortened to JBL), which began to specialize in home audio equipment. In 1950, the legendary woofer was launched and became the basis of all JBL technology.
In the mid-1950s, the company created the Hartsfield speaker system (known as the “dream speaker”), which set a new standard in the quality of music played at home and was produced until the mid-1980s. In the ’70s, however, JBL sold over a quarter of a million L-100 speakers that used the technology of popular monitors used in professional recording studios.
In 1983, George Lucas chose JBL to create the world’s first professional speaker system for cinemas. A year later, the company used the revolutionary titanium dome technology in home speakers, and in 1994 it received the Golden Award and Stereo Sound Component of the Year Award for excellent quality and technological innovations.
Since 1969 JBL has been part of Harman International Industries, now part of the Samsung group.
JBL TLX 5000 are 3 full-range speakers (including 7cm bass-reflex) that will provide a realistic, three-dimensional soundstage, as well as a deep, powerful bass. JBL TLX is the key to a world where the art of creating legendary sounds meets advanced technology to help shape an unprecedented listening experience. The sound is dynamic and spacious.
The enclosures have been completely revitalized. Canadian maple wood adds incredible charm to the speakers. High quality finishing screws. The wood finish is Chinese oil produced from natural oils. The wood is very pleasant to the touch.
