Rob here checkin-in w/my 1st one....found this forum while searching for Kenrick Sound (Japan). I stumbled upon all the youtube uploads from Kenrick as I'm pretty much a fanboy of all things JBL. I was curious as to what's new these days w/re to my old classic (imo) JBL L65's. They were my 1st major high-end (for me anyway) purchase back in 1980 (hard earned tennis teaching $$ @ age 17) when I was informed of a recent divorce' fire sale that included a pair of fairly new at the time L65's...the floor standers w/glass tops. $300 for the pair which I suppose back then was considered a fairly decent steal for such well built screamers. Evidently as the story went...her ex ran out leaving her w/much of his toys for which she wasn't all that into.....right time & place kinda thing...lucky me I guess. So that's when it all began as I started to build my rig around the speakers....which have been oh-so kind to me through the yrs....by far among one of my best buys for the money.
Anyhow....guess I should save the rest for the appropriate thread here...or at least not dive into everything else right off the bat in the Welcome thread. Having said this, I was hoping that perhaps Mr. Kenrick has been known to check-in here on occasion as I'd really like to follow him & ask a few questions of him as he does what certainly looks to be some pretty killer mods on all things JBL....man alive have I been enjoying his youtube channel. If you like JBL & have never seen his channel....I highly recommend it...now I wanna go to Japan even more so. ;) But if he does happen to be a member here & someone knows the alias he uses.....by all means pls point me in the right direction.....tia! Regardless, I'm looking forward to learning from everyone else here as in no way would I ever begin to consider myself an expert on any of this stuff. I simply truly appreciate quality sound & the components that come w/the territory. W/re to much of the techy/spec stuff....I'm gonna do my best to be a sponge learning whatever I can from the Sage's of this joint....certainly lookin forward to talkin shop w/everyone....Cheers!!
