JBL Rare import only pair

Register to hide this ad
How did you make out? I see there was 0 bids.
Now's the time to make a realistic offer. although a bit rough, they look all there and with a little TLC. better than Next gen 4430's.
We know Who had a big hand in their design, Greg Timbers
 
Like smaller Everests, same horns, but they have what I think are 2235's, not the newer ND woofers
 
Sorry guys.. Work seems to be busy. I reached out to the seller and has not gotten back to me. I had some questions of course. One, where are the grills??

Anyway, Still on them and will reach out to him/her again. Keep you posted.
 
I agree, Life comes first.
Grills can be made, the whole speakers not really.
Merry Christmas Tim

Like wise! Merry Christmas!

If, IF these happen I would like to drive them with two Fisher SA-100's (Mono) and a Fisher 400CX2 pre. I might think that might be a good pairing??
 
I'm sure they will be a nice match.
I have a 400cx as well as a pair of 55a's waiting patiently for their turn on the bench. Good luck on the S3100's
 
I have a pair of these and they are fantastic.
You will be amazed at the how these image.

The surrounds should look good but tend to deteriorate at the outer edge of the foam roll
The aquaplas coating makes this harder to see than on untreated foams.
Run your pinky among the foam edge next to the frame and you can feel any problems if they exist.
Check bottom corners for damage from vacuum cleaners.
Know which speaker is right and which is left.
The one in the pic is the left speaker.

Outstanding... was going to ask these questions. Thank you sooo much.
 
Even if tempted, do not touch the surrounds. Have the owner do this, or at least discuss the potential consequences before attemping to do it yourself.

Imagine if it is deteriorated and you touch it and it makes a hole, tears, shreds. This can and will happen with a deteriorated surround and now you are at odds with the seller because you've "ruined" his JBLs. Ever heard the phrase, "You break it, you bought it"?

Either have him do this, or assume they need replacement.

Toddalin for the win!! Good call!!
 
One way to check the surrounds is to bring a bass-heavy track and ask the seller to play it..., loud. I've had foams blow off of the woofers into many pieces on my RSL monitors doing this and if he turns it up..., it's on his dime.
