Like bees to honey. Kids fingers (and sometimes adults) to dust caps.

Sad.

Good looking speakers.

of COURSE it affects performance - otherwise,
JBL would have made tweeters with crumpled domes to begin with!

Just whack their fingertips with a ruler to embed a painful reminder into such behaviour!

The adults can be trained with an expensive bill to repair such dumb behaviour!

1900 for those??? LAMO

No no no, those domes were pushed in by Mr. Timbers personally and enhance the value.

I wouldn't want them for that $$$.

"Very new condition." Not just new. Those dust caps just look pushed in, it's the light reflecting off the dust.

Factory collectables - notice all the gold trim ...
I am a cheapo and wouldn't pay for the bling - but some do ...

I think these were a 25th anniversary model or some such thing. I remember seeing a pair (never heard them) in J&R Music World in lower Manhattan, in the 1990s.

Those would be the Century Gold 50th Anniversary edition in honor of 50-years of JBL, not 25-years of L100s.

Right. Duh on my part. That would explain the gold.

I think I'd rather have the real thang.... with pushed in dustcaps or without.

 

[Sandstrom]

At least replacement tweets should be easy to find...

Somebody got them for a mere $1,888.00
