Inspired by the iconic L100 models that defined living-room audio in the ’70s, these reimagined classics bring both vintage cool and modern performance to the party. The signature quadrex foam grille returns in bold color options, and underneath lies a meticulously engineered speaker system engineered for today’s music: a 12-inch pure-pulp cone woofer for rich, room-filling lows, a 5-inch midrange driver for crystal-clear vocals and instruments, and a 1-inch titanium dome tweeter that sends highs soaring without sibilance. $7,499
