Description
This is the best home audio I have ever owned. I can’t find a way to place it well in my new home, so I am offering it for sale. The L16 was a (relatively) limited run of high-end JBL single piece home audio systems, with support for both Bluetooth (BT) and Airplay. It was $1699 new, when I bought it; and since then, it has been well cared for. Detailed sound at the high end, warm and rich across with mids, and a thumping bass when you want it! I used it as a stereo and at another point as soundbar. Compared to things marketed as soundbars, this studio quality sound is waaaay better- of course, with 5.25 woofers, 2 kids, and 25mm tweeters! It features 6 individually driven 50W channels for a total of 300W. High, mid and low each are on different amp channels; just that it has individual channels should tell you this is a bit different quality than the average stereo, where you commonly wire a speaker and all of its components to a single channel. Those channels is what you want in a studio monitor. Harmonic distortion is <0.1% at FULL POWER! When you want to crank it, you will not get distortion, it will sound just as good at full power as it does when you want it quiet. Digital signal to noise ratio is 98db! The clarity is remarkable.The finish is walnut, and it is in excellent condition. I love this thing, and so I took good care of it. It supports Bluetooth, wifi, airplay, optical, headphone jack, RCA/phono input and DLNA. Two USB charging ports.This is also the predecessor to the JBL L75ms, which sells for $1500, and is not a whole lot different.
