I saw in CL these speakers, the owner say the following:
THESE ARE THE BEST SPEAKERS JBL EVER MADE
15 INCH WOFFER AND A 075 RING RADIATOR HIGH FREQ SPEAKER
THESE WILL BE THE BET YOU HAVE EVER HEARD
A REAL RARE OFFERING.
I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND STILL HAVE JBL PAPERWORK
CAN DEMONSTRATE ..
THESE ARE NOT CHEAP

Could anyone identify these speakers ? Have any worth? Thank you very much.

Did he also list a price or is "THESE ARE NOT CHEAP" supposed to be a hint that he's trying to auction those off? If so, please flag him, as auctions are against CL rules.

i would stay away from it.
though these are really fine speakers (i have a pair of C36), sounds like this guy wants arm and a leg for them. "these are the best speakers jbl ever made" - wrong. "bet you have never heard" - wrong. "real rare offering" - wrong.
 
Actually, these are the lowboys, if the legs go on the long bottom side.

If the legs go on the short side, they are C36s and will look like this..
 
If he has the early 16 ohm D130As, clean N2500 crossovers, and 075s with intact seals, the individual driver prices could reach that, but legless speakers and high prices don't often meet. David is on the money.

Also, the emblem on the top speaker is set up for a low boy, not a tall boy, profile.

I Just talked with the owner and he's asking $1000 for them and the model is C36.

that's not as bad as what i thought he would ask. i bet you can negotiate and cut a few hundred down if you show up with cash. i've seen reproduction legs that are really decent looking. still, not even close to being a score unless you were in the market for a pair like this.
 
IMO, that price is for collectors only, rather than for the ultimate audio experience. i'd rather find some other JBL's that give you a great listening experience for the $1K.
