JBL Paragon?

I guess this would qualify for the “ what’s your best speaker score” and “score of lifetime” threads for whoever buys it.

It's not that far for you, so why aren't you already there getting this?

I sent a message but it was listed for 18 hours at that point, I highly doubt I'm going to get a response. Even if I did, I don't really have a realistic way to transport it or store it.

I would love for an AK member to buy it and create a thread though.

If the ad is real that speaker will turn into a bidding war real fast, expect no reply until you up the ante.

Inexpensive truck rental/storage is everywhere.

Been there many times . . . that speaker will turn into a bidding war real fast, expect no reply until you up the ante.

I'm sure, I'd love to hear what it ends up going for.

Inexpensive help is everywhere. I would have hired my entire family to move this thing back to my house. Too bad I'm in the wrong coast.

I don’t know much about this model JBL other than that there is the same model(much nicer looking) currently for sale on the Philly Craigslist for $25k...so yea probably a smoking deal for somebody even semi local.

It splits into three pieces, two people with a hand truck should be able to manage it.

I'd also be looking up the real estate "sold" listings in Oxford and hope to get lucky in locating the house.

Some say the Paragon is nowhere near the best sounding JBL speaker, but it arguably owns top bragging rights if you happen to own one.

Thats just sad seeing a work of art being used as a storage shelf!! Outta be a law!!

My bucket List speaker for sure. you guys on the W/S get all the JBL Goodies. supposedly less than a Thousand were produced in a 20+ production run.
Best having the 375 Bubble backs and 150-4 's

Here's how i'm feeling over in sunny California right now. I've got a cousin in RI but telling him wouldn't do much.

I was thinking the same...if legit it could turn into a bidding war.

100$ would be Like Armed Robbery!

Got a sixer of Shiner Premium they're throwing in. Right on.

C'mon - someone is having a big laugh at all the audiophiles trying to scrow on this -
Someone bored is indulging - laugh along for the fun of it!

Like posting this in the sports car forum...

I agree EXCEPT maybe the seller really is clueless
The way it is stored also makes me think it MIGHT be someone who has no idea what it is.
With non existent Google-fu. Far fetched I know, but not impossible.

Great entertainment any way
