Jbl l52 stands1/8/2024 JBL calls it Quadrex which refers to the grid pattern molded into the foam. Once the grille goes on though, it’s like stepping into a time machine. Likewise, the tweeter is titanium with a waveguide. The old speaker’s woofer would have been made from paper, but today’s L52 Classic uses a much stiffer pulp material. It is made with modern materials and engineered from the ground up using contemporary design techniques and tuning. Of course, the L52 Classic is only a cosmetic recreation of a vintage speaker. They had the same foam grilles and walnut cabinets that come with the L52 Classic Bookshelf Speakers I’m reviewing today. I could clearly see the mixing board and the two JBL studio monitors that sat on either side of it. It doubled as a recording studio and on one side was a large window where the engineer could look out into the room. I have a vivid memory of my first music job and the rehearsal space I played in every day. A small cabinet covered in real walnut veneer fits on a stand or shelf thanks to a front-mounted port and relatively shallow depth. The Quadrex foam grille recalls analog audio of the past while modern materials like a titanium dome tweeter and a pure pulp 5.25” woofer deliver audio that delivers way above its modest price of $1,000 a pair. JBL’s L52 Classic Bookshelf Speaker packs modern technology into a classically styled cabinet that marries a retro look with reference-level sound quality.
