Seriously considering the above combo. The speakers are the L100's bought new in the early seventies. No I won't sell them and yes I am taking them with me when I die. I am concerned about the audio portion only. All video is fed directly into the plasma with HDMI cables. The JBL's are very efficient speakers so that is why I am looking at one of the "medium" amps. Was wondering is anyone had any first hand experience using this combo? Any advice/suggestions are greatly welcomed.

I don't have any experience with these speakers, but I wonder if you even need the 7125. How efficient is "very" efficient? If we're talking horn-loaded speakers with an efficiency up around triple digits, you might be equally well off with the 7075. Just something to toss out there...

The L100 is pretty efficient. It's a 3-way bass reflex design and runs somewhere around 93 dB at 1 meter on axis with 1 watt input. Way back when, I used to sell these (among others) when I worked in an audio store.

As I recall, they did well with 50 watts/channel but sounded better with more. 125 per should do just fine.

Sounds like the 7125 would be a slick match-up for those speakers...

Play 'em LOUD! That's what they were designed for.

Thanks to all!!! Sounds like the 7125 would be ball's on. May upgrade to the 990 however because of what I am reading about the 970's in the forums...

Especially with the current pricing, a 990/7125 combo is a great value.
