Those are the iconic Hartsfield worth anywhere from 15k to 30k in good condition and those look great.

Because that ad didn't tell you everything possible to know about the Hartsfield already. If I was a paranoid, suspicious type, it would look to me like someone is trying to drum up interest in a sale. But, of course, I'm neither paranoid or suspicious. All sunshine, rainbows and fuzzy kittens here.

Where are those at?? I have seen Hartsfields bring in excess of $60,000+!

Well someone is trying to scam a flipper here and I fell for it . If its too good to be true it usually is. Ad stated 250.00. There is a battle between two flippers and it has kinda been getting nasty. Some people should get a life.

Sorry for wasting your time and getting your hearts pumping.

You didn't waste anyone's time, at least mine. Let us not forget that a guy scored a pair Hartsfield's a couple weeks ago on ak for I believe $150 and they looked great.
I think it happened . . . I read it on the internet :scratch2:

^ In that case, it was completely off the scope of the Internet. The buyer found them in a local antique/thrift store, where the seller was completely clueless about their value.

There are so many people combing the Internet who are aware of valuable gear... either something gets taken down in short order, or the seller wises up from the tirade of responses to then raise the price accordingly. The good ol' bargain days are long gone... true scores are a real rarity.

So what is the deal with these JBL Hartsfields? What makes their sound so terrific? $30,000 is A LOT for a pair of speakers, even with the collectability factor.

They're the gull-wing Mercedes of the speaker universe.

Hah! That's actually a great comparison, in many ways.:yes:

 

[cubby01]

I keep wondering if they are so rare how come we've seen three sets in the past few weeks?

I have a set that I use for rear surrounds with my Bose up front. No big deal, really

 

[scootchu]

They are one of the better bookshelf speakers out there.

A nice mod for those is to replace the shitty horns with Pyle Pros!
