**Updated
4/1/24... Please Note**.. In the last couple months USPS has been experiencing troubles delivering packages in a timely manner,
only in certain cases and incidences, but please be patient and allow extra time for your item to
arrive..Also note that the stated estimated delivery times that Ebay
shows you
during checkout
are Deceiving and Unrealistic..The estimated arrival dates get
changed
as the shipping tracking updates while the package is en route and
overrides the
original arrival date making it no longer valid..Please do not rely on
the furthest out estimated arrive date shown to you when you placed
you're order..Sorry I have no control how long USPS takes to deliver a
package..Sorry about the inconveniences USPS has been causing.
**These are In Stock and Ready To Ship!**

*Please
Note*....This upgraded foam used in these ''Sculptured Air Series''
inserts is different than any of my other grille inserts made with my
standard grade foam.The OEM Series/Quad Series/RS Series available now or sold in the
past..If you are a return customer and have bought grille
insert other than the "Sculptured Air Series" then this foam will not
match in texture and feel to my standard grade foam....Also if you are
wanting multiple pairs or colors of inserts be sure to understand the
difference in the foam and stay within the same series of inserts if you
want a match..The texture, feel and appearance is different between
series and will not match exactly..
You have took
great care of your speakers for all these years, but sadly the original
foam grilles deteriorated away and are long gone, or maybe you have just
acquired a used set of L-100's that are missing the grilles and you
have spent countless hours cleaning, hand rubbing on a new oil finish
and everything else in between making everything just right...
Now
the time has come to give the true intended L-100 look back to your
speakers,and finally get to see the full effect that these grilles give
to the L-100 Century in person!!..There is just something about
them!..These unique and beautiful, 3 dimensional, acoustically
transparent sculptured foam grille inserts are stunning and practical!!
Feel
the grilles, notice the texture and firmness..Examine the details and
the workmanship!!..All eyes will be drawn to these grilles!..JBL sure
got them right!
Sculptured air foam is
actually 80% open air space, reticulated open cell foam offers
significantly less interference to the passage of sound than any other
known covering..Although ideally there should be nothing but free air
between listener and sound source, these unique grilles offer the next
best thing to nothing at all!..And you have the freedom to explore color
and shape adding a dramatic and functional highlight to the iconic
L-100!.. Superior component/driver protection is also offered!!..(Its
still recommended to remove grilles when critically listening to your
speaker since just the wood frames alone without any foam causes
diffraction distortion from the high frequencies bouncing off the grille
frame edges)
