Is this a good marriage?

This is an excellent combination! Many of the early 80's model Evans had a JBL E-130. I had one in the large cabinet models that I regret ever selling. One of the best sounding amps I have ever had. Ray Devoe now has it.

| I have two late 70's Fet-500's, one having a JBL E-130, and the other a JBL M-31. Both have a terrific sound. And While there are many excellent speakers available,I feel the JBL is superior in sound, and for me, are the standard by which all others are compared. |

| The D-130 is good, the Black Widow, 1501 is very good. |

| Andy, when I first owned your amp, I stuck an E-130 in it,an 8 ohm. It was pretty good, but needed reconing and whoever reconed it stuck a bass cone in it. I never liked the sensitivity in the highs after that and eventually went for the the Black Widow. Was quite happy with that although I played another FET 500 with an Emmminence in it. Very nice. By the way, did you ever fix the reverb in it? [This message was edited by John Lacey on 04 November 2005 at 06:30 AM.] |

John,
No I never did get the Rev fixed. I use the Lexicon MPX100. Hope all is well you.
Thanks

I am currently running a D-130F JBL in my Evans SE-200 and it sounds great.
I also have one in the old original Session 400 and it is awesome with my D-10 p/p. |

I have a 84 Evans FET500 that came new with a 4 ohm JBL E-130 and for my style and ears is the best I have ever used. I have a newer SE200 that I purchased in 1999 and came with an Evans Eclipse 15". I didn't like the Eclipse speaker so I changed it out for a 1501 15" Black Widow and the performance is much better, but not as good as the older Evans with the JBL.

I got my hands on an original JBL K130-4.
So far there has been a change for the better. Tomorrow I'll try it on a gig.
