Looking for vintage, world class tweeters? These are a good choice!
As JBL stated, "exceptional handling of transients" and "remarkable presence". Well put. I would also add, for tube or solid state, low power listeners alike ... these super tweeters are a bonafide way to get incredible detail and air into your system!
A nicely matching pair of vintage JBL 075 tweeters from the 1960s. All original JBL diaphragm and 8 ohm coils - still sealed with JBL's red seals.
The original coils and diapragms tested a near-perfect match (see technician's reports in exhibit A,B,C,D) ... they sound the same and were verified with a 20-20K impedance response sweep (exhibit B,C,D), where these original 8 ohm coils even at each end of spectrum they matched well (see full test reports). As you can see in the charts, 8 ohm coils at HF, become much more like 16ohm VC, as they reach up above 10 ohms (see exhibit D,E) With music, these sounded, crisp, clean and distortion free -- with music at loud volume. No rattles or buzzes. Great sounding units!
They are in immaculate condition. Gleaming front rings with still shinny, crisp, clean paint. Both tags have slight scratches. They look beautiful and present almost as NEW.. No paint chips...and have red over all screws (see exhibit's A-G); just as they were directly removed from a working 1960s era cabinet.
It's unusual to see such a nice, matching pair of vintage 075, and with close matching serial #'s (only a few units apart). These older 075's sound so nice ... and will sell quickly.
The most throughly tested and original set you will see anywhere.
See the photos below for full test info. They were tested, swept full range & no buzzes or rattles. They very well matched in tone to ear, and matched efficiency on frequency analyzer (see charts @ 8k cycles below). Included with this pair is an original set of JBL mounting clamp rings, that also double as very useful feet if you were to just set them on your cabinets to use on top - this is a very important piece of original JBL hardware. These will sell quick, as did my last old, nice matched pair…the customer was extremely happy.
Perched on top of any system, using the ring as a foot, not at all unlike JBL's Angelus product was inteded to do. You must use a recommended 4uf cap, or crossover, or keep the power level low.
Buy now, to avoid a costly bidder's war. Nice original early units are never in stock long!
See my 100% feedback on all audio items. I have owned many 075, and this pair is one of the best sounding I have had. A really nice set!
It's smart to buy old, original units because they 1960s diaphragms do sound better than many of the later designs, models & products from JBL. These are some of the best sounding vintage tweeters out there, and certainly about the most powerful you can own. A top choice for your collection of the worlds supreme UHF tweeters.
Great for your low wattage, SE or PP tube amplifier, they match well in many systems.
