JBL Junk or Deal?

[janikphoto]

These don't look like the L5's or other good JBL's of the black cabinet era, but the tweeter doesn't look like the junk they put in the cheap stuff, either. Can anyone ID this model?

Their not junk, but they are one of JBL's lesser offerings from the last decade or so.


As the ad states: they sound awesome when plugged to a reciever

Always an improvement in sound quality over plugging them into a wall outlet or a body orifice!

I think the sound quality on those might surprise you, in a good way.

I'd just wind up flipping them. I prefer my cornwalls. Now, if they were L5's, that might be a keeper!

I'd be surprised if you come out above earning minimum wage for the amount of time you put into trying to flip those assuming you purchased them for the asking price.

This turned out to be a scam. Can everyone please flag it? Here's the reply I got from them:


Hi there

Just sold this to someone else, but I can tell you where I got it from.
I just bought 3 of these from bidswoops.com and I resold them on here for some extra money.

The trick is to watch for bidding to slow down and then place your bid. That's what I do and I win most of the time.

I would've offered $50 and flipped them for $100... but, it's more of a hobby than a money thing.
